Instapy: Xvfb is missing in instapy_web docker container

[ingorichter]

Created the docker images with docker-compose --verbose up -d --build but there is an error running docker_quickstart.py

Did anybody see this before? I don't remember when I created the docker files the last time, but back then it was no issue. Perhaps a simple apt-get install xvfb in the docker file might help. But I don't understand why it was working before.

Be sure to

bot = InstaPy(username=insta_username, password=insta_password, selenium_local_session=False)
bot.set_selenium_remote_session(selenium_url='http://selenium:4444/wd/hub')

from your error it seems that you are instantiating instapy likebot= InstaPy(username='test', password='test', nogui=True)

@Naramsim you are totally correct. It was my mistake with the added nogui=True argument. Sorry for that.

Thanks for your help. Let's close this issue. :-)
