Is it possible to simultaneously have chromedriver visible to docker and the user

Question

I'm writing a script which opens up gog.com and then waits for you to press the q key. in the mean time you're supposed to click on a game (which will open up a new page) and then press the q key. once you have done this the name , price and platform of the game are grabbed and printed.

Is it possible to dockerize this. I don't know how to get chromedriver to open up on the users desktop in such a way that docker (or my python script) can see what going on.

the user needs to be able to click around on the browser chromedriver opens, to find the game and the script has to detect keyboard press and be able to see the browser too to get the price

heres my script (if thats useful)

def wait_for_delete():
    thing_chosen = False
    while not thing_chosen:
        if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
            thing_chosen = True
            
driver_xpath2 = "chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_xpath2)

driver.get("https://www.gog.com")
print("now navigate to a game and press q")
wait_for_delete() 

works_on_xp = '//*[@id="pageTop"]/body/div[1]/div[7]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]'
price_xp = '//*[@id="pageTop"]/body/div[1]/div[6]/div[2]/div[1]/span[3]'
name_xp = '//*[@id="pageTop"]/body/div[1]/div[6]/div[1]/h1'

WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,works_on_xp)))
works_on = driver.find_element_by_xpath(works_on_xp).get_attribute("innerHTML")

WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,price_xp)))
price = driver.find_element_by_xpath(price_xp).get_attribute("innerHTML")

WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,name_xp)))
name = driver.find_element_by_xpath(name_xp).get_attribute("innerHTML")

print(works_on)
print(price)
print(name)

is this possible? what sort of thing do i need to start learning (im that lost)

For the beginning you can use Zalenium - it's a dockerized selenium container where you can connect your tests to run there. Also - you need to connect your driver remotely to that container.
