Wa-automate-nodejs: Dockerfile discussion

[smashah]

Need an example with and without support for sending video/gifs

[roelandp]

What would be the difference in both? ffmpeg yes/no right? (for gifs).

[smashah]

@roelandp in order to send videos and gifs, FFmpeg support is required and useChrome: true

[smashah]

I am making one now, however I would greatly appreciate if anybody can share their own so we can find the optimum Dockerfile to use.

[roelandp]

Here is mine I created, with Google chrome but without ffmpeg (don't use that feature):

If you find a way to always use the latest release of openwa and not cache the NPM install part let me know (haven't researched that part, now I just update package json to newest version number to prevent Docker build caching for that part).

Btw. would you need ffmpeg for just "sendVideo" (without gif) and is there a "sendVideo"? or should I use "sendFile" then?

This is mine... not using ffmpg but in theory it´s easy do install on RUN:

FROM node:12.18.0-buster-slim

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN rm -rf /usr/src/app/node_modules/
RUN npm install


ENV CHROME_VERSION=81.0.4044.138-1

RUN set -x \
  && apt-get update \
  && apt-get install wget --yes \
  && wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb \
  && dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb || apt -y -f install \
  && rm google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb \
  && apt autoremove --yes

ENV CHROME_BIN /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

CMD ["npm", "start"]

@sandro-salles @roelandp

Please check out:

https://github.com/open-wa/wa-automate-docker

It's really efficient, offloads the browser onto browserless (which the processes hooks into using browserWSEndpoint and very simple.

Please check it out and let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks
