Unable to launch browser using selenium on Docker. Getting org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException

I am trying to fetch title of the website "https://www.google.com/" in chrome browser using selenium on Docker. However whenever I execute I get the following exception


Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Actual Code

`package remoteTesting.DockerValidation;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class ChromeStandAloneTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        
        URL url = new URL("http://172.17.0.2:4444/wd/hub");
        DesiredCapabilities cap     =new DesiredCapabilities();
        cap.setCapability("browserName","chrome");
        WebDriver remoteWebDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(url,cap);
        remoteWebDriver.get("https://www.google.com/");
        System.out.print(remoteWebDriver.getTitle());
    }

}`

Docker command used to download image : docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome:latest

Docker command used to run : docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-chrome:latest

I have actually tried restarting the Docker, rechecking the selenium version but it did not help me .`

    From what I understand you loading the selenium engine through a container, running the java application locally in an IDE (Eclipse, Intelij or Vscode)?

    Try changing 172.17.0.2 to localhost

    Try using the instruction:
    docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 7900:7900 –shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-chrome:latest

    Try accessing the selenium container through port 4444 or 7900

    In your browser try accessing http://localhost:4444 or http://localhost:7900/?autoconnect=1&resize=scale&password=secret to check if the selenium container is working correctly.

    As you are using RemoteWebDriver instead of using selenium-java dependency:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.10.0</version>
</dependency>

    You can use the selenium-remote-driver dependency as follows:

    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-remote-driver -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>4.10.0</version>
</dependency>
