Closed luigisalas closed 5 years ago

luigisalas commented 5 years ago

Hi, thi code can used without a visual interface in linux? only accessing via ssh? The register process, read the QR, etc. Or is necessary a visual interface for read the QR for example?

I want try it in my server, but I only have ssh access.

Doing the authentication via ssh is not possible right now because this program relies on Google Chrome for QR code authentication and other tasks. It is possible, in theory, to have a headless browser replace Google Chrome. But currently, you would need access to your linux server's desktop environment/GUI to use this there.
