To run GUI autotests in GitLab CI\CD using Docker, Selenium, and PyTest, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a .gitlab-ci.yml file in the root directory of your project. This file will define the pipeline and the jobs for your CI\CD process.

2. Configure the pipeline to use the appropriate image for your tests. In this case, you can use a Python image with the required dependencies installed.

3. Define the before_script section to set up the environment for the tests, including installing the necessary packages and downloading the required drivers for Selenium.

4. Define the test job to run the PyTest tests using the Selenium WebDriver.

Here's an example of a .gitlab-ci.yml file:

stages:
  - test

variables:
  SELENIUM_CHROME_DRIVER: '102.0.5005.62'
  SELENIUM_FIREFOX_DRIVER: '0.26.0'

image: python:3.8

cache:
  paths:
    - .venv
    - requirements.txt

before_script:
  - apt-get update -qq
  - apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
      build-essential \
      wget \
      xvfb \
      xvfb-run
  - pip install --upgrade pip
  - pip install --quiet --upgrade pytest
  - pip install --quiet selenium
  - pip install --quiet webdriver-manager
  - wget https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/releases/download/v${SELENIUM_CHROME_DRIVER}/chromedriver_linux64.zip
  - unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip chromedriver
  - wget https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/releases/download/v${SELENIUM_FIREFOX_DRIVER}/geckodriver-v${SELENIUM_FIREFOX_DRIVER}
  - mv geckodriver-v${SELENIUM_FIREFOX_DRIVER} geckodriver

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - pytest tests/
  tags:
    - selenium
  artifacts:
    reports:
      - html
  only:
    - master
    - merge_requests

This .gitlab-ci.yml file defines a single stage called test that runs the PyTest tests in the tests/ directory. The before_script section installs the necessary dependencies, downloads the Selenium WebDriver for Chrome and Firefox, and sets up the environment for running the tests.

The tags: - selenium line ensures that the job runs on a runner with the selenium tag, which should have the appropriate Selenium WebDriver installed. The artifacts: reports: - html line enables the generation of HTML reports for the test results.

The only: - master - merge_requests line specifies that the tests should be run on every commit to the master branch and on every merge request.

Once you've set up the .gitlab-ci.yml file, commit and push it to your repository. Then, create a new merge request or push to the master branch to trigger the CI\CD pipeline and run the GUI autotests using Docker, Selenium, and PyTest.

Setting up a proxy server correctly involves choosing the right hardware, selecting a suitable proxy server software, configuring the server, and securing the connection. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set up a proxy server:

1. Choose the right hardware: Select a server or computer with adequate resources (CPU, RAM, and storage) to handle the expected number of connections and data transfer rates. You may also want to consider using dedicated hardware or a virtual private server (VPS) for better performance and security.

2. Select proxy server software: There are various proxy server software options available, such as Privoxy, Squid, and PacketFence. Choose a software that suits your needs, considering factors like ease of use, performance, and compatibility with your operating system.

3. Install the proxy server software: Follow the instructions provided by the software vendor to install the proxy server software on your chosen hardware. Make sure to download the software from a reputable source and use the latest version to ensure security and compatibility.

4. Configure the server: Configure the proxy server software according to your requirements. This may include setting up the IP address, port number, and authentication methods (e.g., username and password, IP filtering, or HTTP authentication). You can also configure additional settings, such as caching, bandwidth limits, and access control lists.

5. Secure the connection: Ensure that your proxy server is secure by using encryption (e.g., SSL/TLS) and implementing firewalls or intrusion detection systems. Regularly update the software and apply security patches to minimize vulnerabilities.

6. Test the proxy server: Once the server is set up and configured, test its functionality and performance. Verify that it can handle incoming connections, forward requests correctly, and maintain the desired level of anonymity or security.

7. Share the proxy server: If you want to share your proxy server with others, provide them with the IP address, port number, and any necessary authentication credentials. Be cautious when sharing your proxy server, as it can expose your IP address and bandwidth to others, potentially leading to security risks or abuse.

A transparent proxy is a type of proxy server that intercepts and processes client requests without the client's knowledge, as it operates at the network level. It is commonly used in enterprise environments for content filtering, monitoring, and control. Key characteristics include no user configuration or interaction, support for HTTP and HTTPS connections, content filtering, monitoring and reporting, and performance optimization.

Start the program and add a template. Click on it twice to open a window. Here you need to specify the path to the file with the proxy and save the settings. Enter the following format in the file: HTTPS - 195.3.218.232:8000 - if the proxy is bound to your IP, or login:[email protected]:8000 - if you use a proxy with username and password authentication. Under "Settings" click on "Default", or fill everything in manually, and then confirm the changes you made.

You can make sure that your IP address and confidential information is protected with the help of special online services. It is recommended to perform such checks to confirm or deny the security of personal IP on a regular basis. It will help to avoid many troubles, including blocking your work in the network.
