-# plotly/julia:ci
+# Docker image for running integration tests
 
-#### This Dockerfile is currently used to support integration and unit tests for [Dash.jl](https://github.com/plotly/Dash.jl).
+As CircleCI does not have Julia [Orbs](https://circleci.com/orbs/) yet, we rely
+on a custom docker image to have access to Python, headless Chrome and Julia
+in the same container.
 
-## Usage
+Since <https://github.com/plotly/Dash.jl/pull/207>, we tag the build images
+as [`etpinard/dashjl-tests`](https://hub.docker.com/r/etpinard/dashjl-tests). We
+previously used the [`plotly/julia:ci`](https://hub.docker.com/r/plotly/julia/tags) image.
 
-This image is pulled from within Dash.jl's [config.yml](https://github.com/plotly/Dash.jl/blob/dev/.circleci/config.yml):
+## When should we update the docker image?
+
+The integration tests rely on the Python version of [dash](https://github.com/plotly/dash)
+and its [testing framework](https://github.com/plotly/dash/tree/dev/dash/testing).
+
+So, we should use the latest CircleCI python + browsers image latest Python version
+that is included in the [dash CircleCI config](https://github.com/plotly/dash/blob/dev/.circleci/config.yml)
+as our base image.
+
+We should also update the Julia version from time to time. It might be nice to
+run the integration tests on multiple Julia versions eventually.
+
+## How to update the docker image?
+
+Ask for push rights on docker hub first, then
+
+```sh
+cd Dash.jl/build
+docker build -t etpinard:dashjl-tests:<x.y.z> .
+docker push etpinard:dashjl-test:<x.y.z>
+```
+
+where `<x.y.z>` is the semver tag for the new image.
+
+## CircleCI usage
+
+This image is pulled from within Dash.jl's [CircleCI config.yml](../.circleci/config.yml):
 
 ```yaml
     docker:
-      - image: plotly/julia:ci
+      - image: etpinard/dashjl-tests:<x.y.z>
 ```
 
-## Publication details
+where `<x.y.z>` is the latest tag listed on <https://hub.docker.com/r/etpinard/dashjl-tests/tags>.
+
+## Local usage
+
+````sh
+# grab a copy of the python (main) dash repo
+cd Dash.jl
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/plotly/dash.git -b dev dash-main
+
+# start `dashjl-tests`
+docker run -t -d --name dashjl-tests -v .:/home/circleci/project etpinard/dashjl-tests:<x.y.z>
 
-[plotly/julia:ci](https://hub.docker.com/r/plotly/julia/tags)
+# ssh into it as root (some python deps need that unfortunately)
+docker exec -u 0 -it dashjl-tests bash
 
-## Limitations
+# [on 1st session] install pip deps
+cd /home/circleci/project/dash-main
+pip install --upgrade pip wheel
+pip install -e .[ci,dev,testing] --progress-bar off
 
-The current revision of this Dockerfile fixes the Julia version at a given release, so only manual updating is possible. The image is based on `circleci/python:3.7-stretch-node-browsers` rather than the [docker-library](https://github.com/docker-library/julia) or [julia-latest](https://hub.docker.com/_/julia?tab=tags) images.
+# [on 1st session] install chrome
+cd /home/circleci
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CircleCI-Public/browser-tools-orb/main/src/scripts/install-chrome.sh
+chmod +x install-chrome.sh
+ORB_PARAM_CHANNEL="stable" ORB_PARAM_CHROME_VERSION="latest" ./install-chrome.sh
+
+# [on 1st session] install chromedriver
+cd /home/circleci
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CircleCI-Public/browser-tools-orb/main/src/scripts/install-chromedriver.sh
+chmod +x ./install-chromedriver.sh
+ORB_PARAM_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin/ ./install-chromedriver.sh
+
+# [on 1st session] instantiate julia deps
+cd /home/circleci/project/
+julia --project -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
+
+# update julia deps then run integration tests
+cd /home/circleci/project/
+julia --project -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.update()'
