Web driver / Chrome support?

[ajtatum]

@girish Any update by change? I managed to get browserless.io self hosted and have incorporated it into other projects, and would love to use it in Change Detection.

Sorry to be pestering, but any luck here? Would really love to use this app!

Would also love to see web driver support, even if it is via an external service!

Just wanted to let everyone know that getting this working in Portainer/docker compose is extremely easy and once I setup NGINX Proxy Manager (outside of Cloudron) it's pretty sweet.

Here's the docker compose script I used:

version: '3.3'
x-logging: &default-logging
  options:
    max-size: "200k"
    max-file: "10"
  driver: json-file
      
  changedetection:
      image: ghcr.io/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io:latest
      container_name: changedetection
      hostname: changedetection
      volumes:
        - changedetection-data:/datastore
      environment:
        - PORT=5000
        - PGID=${PGID}
        - PUID=${PUID}
        - TZ=${TZ}
        - WEBDRIVER_URL=http://browser-chrome:4444/wd/hub
        - PLAYWRIGHT_DRIVER_URL=ws://playwright-chrome:3000/?stealth=1&--disable-web-security=true
        - BASE_URL=http://192.168.195.150
      logging: *default-logging
      ports:
        - 5000:5000
      restart: unless-stopped
 
  browser-chrome:
    hostname: browser-chrome
    image: selenium/standalone-chrome-debug:3.141.59
    environment:
       - VNC_NO_PASSWORD=1
       - SCREEN_WIDTH=1920
       - SCREEN_HEIGHT=1080
       - SCREEN_DEPTH=24
    logging: *default-logging
    volumes:
       - /dev/shm:/dev/shm
    restart: unless-stopped
 
  playwright-chrome:
      hostname: playwright-chrome
      image: browserless/chrome:latest
      restart: unless-stopped
      environment:
          - SCREEN_WIDTH=1920
          - SCREEN_HEIGHT=1024
          - SCREEN_DEPTH=16
          - ENABLE_DEBUGGER=false
          - PREBOOT_CHROME=true
          - CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=300000
          - MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS=10
          - CHROME_REFRESH_TIME=600000
          - DEFAULT_BLOCK_ADS=true
          - DEFAULT_STEALTH=true
      logging: *default-logging
      
volumes:
  changedetection-data:

PGID and PUID are 1000 in my use case. And TZ, for me, is set to America/New_York.

@ajtatum This hasn't been implemented yet, correct?

[girish]

Looks like @vladimir-d has managed to get this working! Let's see if we can get an update out in the coming days.

@girish said in Web driver / Chrome support?:

Any update?

[imc67]

I see it’s working! Was debugging an URL that resolves to ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

[girish]

Yes, we have been using it for many months now. It's how we detect changes in Minecraft releases page

[nichu42]

Is there an idiot's guide to getting web driver running with Change Detection on Cloudron?

[girish]

@nichu42 there is nothing to setup. Just choose "Playwright Chromium" in the Request tab of your URL.

@girish Thank you, I obviously didn't use the word idiot for nothing.
