Create a white blur on the bottom of a container that contains overflowing elements

Question

I have a div container that contains text-boxes when some of them are overflowing.
I'm trying to create a white blur in css like in this example:

My goal that the blur will be from the bottom:

I've tried this example, but its not working for me.
Any help will be appreciated

I created a Fiddle with my status.

.container {
  margin-top: 10px;
  border: 1px solid grey;
  width: 200px;
  height: 60px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.text-box {
  padding: 2px;
  display: inline-block;
  border-radius: 5px;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: blue;
  height: 25px;
  margin: 5px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 25px;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>

  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>

  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
</div>

Do I have to track it? I can check if an element is overflowing with JS — Igor.R, May 13 '20 at 10:45
In general I can track it, but it means that youre idea is to apply the style on each element individually and not on the parent container , right? — Igor.R, May 13 '20 at 10:48

This will do:

.container {
  margin-top: 10px;
  border: 1px solid grey;
  width: 200px;
  height: 60px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
}

.container:after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  right: 0px;
  height: 50%;
  bottom: 0px;
  background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(139,167,32,0) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 100%);
  pointer-events: none;
}

.text-box {
  padding: 2px;
  display: inline-block;
  border-radius: 5px;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: blue;
  height: 25px;
  margin: 5px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 25px;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>

  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>

  <div class="text-box">
    Some text
  </div>
</div>

What about if you want to overflow scroll? The blurred white area will be moved I think. — Alberto Rhuertas, May 13 '20 at 10:55
