[SOLVED] Running Puppeteer with Appwrite function

Is it possible to run Puppeteer within a function? I keep getting a server error. By default Puppeteer installs a browser binary to use, but I am not sure if appwrite allows for such a scenario. I am an Appwrite newbie😅 .

My environment is node v16.0.0

You could try including the binary in your function upload and referencing it that way.

The binary bloats the tar file which exceeds the upload limit. The proposal to configure your own docker image would be a great addition, that way I could have an environment that already has a browser binary. The weird thing is I've tried using Browserless which doesn't require a binary and the function still fails.

I did it :appwriterocket: I figured it out using Browserless as suggested by @rohit.sangwan01 Thanks a bunch💯 I had to switch to Python though, running Puppeteer with node has some issues on Appwrite. The setup that worked for me is Python x Selenium xBrowserless. https://www.browserless.io/

Dart also works good with browserless puppeteer , i have tried this in my library for whatsapp bot in dart: https://pub.dev/packages/whatsapp_bot_flutter#web-setup

using. https://pub.dev/packages/puppeteer

Good stuff💯

You can create your own runtimes if needs, look here : https://github.com/open-runtimes/open-runtimes/tree/main/runtimes

Or have chromium worker outside appwrite, and call it from function

or call API sure, #1 is Zyte (scrapinghub), better proxy is bright data
