Run CEF based testtool on a headless machine

[videoaudio]

Hello,

I am exploring possibilities on running CEF based offscreen rendering app on a pure headless ubuntu machine(No X server or Xvfb running).
I created a test tool with,
-- CEF browser in windowless mode.
-- CEF configured for windowless rendering. (CefSettings.windowless_rendering_enabled is set to True)
-- implement CefRenderHandler to write the image data to a file (No display is involved)

Above setup works perfectly fine if Xvfb is running in background.

Can I run CEF windowless mode on a pure headless ubuntu machine (Where my testapp can allocate surface buffers to CEF instead of X server) where dependency on X display server is removed?

Thanks.

Not currently. You need a port of CEF that adds Ozone support and removes the xlib dependency. See for example viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11924.
