5 years ago Hi Michael,
First, sorry that the self hosting guide doesn't cover the extensions. Will update that soon.
For example it doesn't list all required php extensions (like pdo and pdo_mysql) and maybe some more I don't know.
pdo and pdo_mysql are recommended, but you could also use all other Database Drivers supported by Laravel. You would have to update the DB_CONNECTION in the .env file.
Also, I first thought it has to run with Apache, but that seems not the case either. It now runs with php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0, though I'm not sure if that is the intended way either (sais something about dev server...).
php artisan serve should really only ever be used fir development. screeenly / Laravel can be used with Apache. The webroot should be the public-folder.
Something went wrong capturing this website. Is it a Javascript heavy site or loads lots of external content? If you think this is an error contact us.
That's the general error message for the /try page. The problem is probably that some dependencies are not installed in your docker file. Screeenly uses browsershot to generate the screenshots and the package depends on puppeteer and chrome. With yarn install puppeteer should be installed. I used the following commands to install chrome on an Ubuntu server:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget
sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm puppeteer
sudo chmod -R o+rx /usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromiumDepending on what you want to achieve in the end, maybe you can circumvent screeenly completely by just using puppeteer directly. Usage guide.
I hope this helps you. I don't have much experience with docker, so I can't give advice on how you could pack that all into your docker file.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a docker container with screeenly but I can't get it to create screenshots.
I followed the self hosting guide but it seems incomplete for someone who doesn't know Lavarel/Symfony/PHP.
For example it doesn't list all required php extensions (like pdo and pdo_mysql) and maybe some more I don't know. Also, I first thought it has to run with Apache, but that seems not the case either. It now runs with
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0, though I'm not sure if that is the intended way either (sais something about dev server...).Anyway when I'm on the page/try and just hit the "Create Screenshot" button (->uses medium.com), it just errors the following message in the browser.
There's no error in the browser console (network tab has only 301 due to https redirect and the rest is 200) nor on the shell with the web server open and I don't know what's missing.
I also tried a curl agains the API:
curl -i localhost:8000/api/v1/fullsize -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key": "test","url": "https://medium.com"}'It returns 400 Bad request with the following response:
Not sure if I did something wrong there.
Would you please check my repo (https://github.com/ionphractal/docker-screeenly) with the Dockerfile how the container is created/started and see what's missing?
You can use docker compose to start it if that helps, but you have to start up the db first with
docker-compose up -d dband wait until its ready (checkdocker-compose logs -f db). At the moment, I still have Apache running all the time so that I can manually go into the container for debugging.Once the containers are started, go into the container with
and run the server as described above. If you have any questions about starting it with docker, please let me know.
Btw. the container uses PHP/7.2.10.
Thanks in advance!
