Summary

  • Installs Google Chrome stable in the runtime image so the OpenClaw browser tool works out of the box on Railway
  • No manual SSH installs needed — Chrome persists across redeploys since it's baked into the image
  • Adds ~300MB to image size

Context

Without this, users need to SSH into the Railway container and manually apt-get install Chrome after every redeploy, which gets wiped by teardown.

Test plan

  • Deploy to Railway
  • Run openclaw browser start — should find Chrome at /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
  • Run openclaw browser open https://example.com && openclaw browser snapshot — should return page content

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Adds Chrome to the runtime apt-get layer so the OpenClaw browser tool
works out of the box on Railway without manual SSH installs.

Chrome is downloaded and installed in a single layer to keep the
image size increase minimal (~300MB).
