Hi Glen, thanks for the nice feedback.

If you don't use containers my first thought would be to run Playwright using the preferred language (you can write tests in JS, Python, etc..) without the need to use Docker.

The tests-in-a-container work if the application is also a container accessible (same host ideally) by Playwright. There might be ways to connect containers and apps distributed but the architecture complexity and mainteance effort would make it not worthwhile. Hope this helps.
