Run changedetection.io inside LXC in proxmox with WebDriver

[socket462]

Hi all,

I am able to run changedetection.io inside LXC in Proxmox with Basic fast Plaintext/HTTP Client so without Docker
I am also able to run WebDriver with /usr/bin/chromedriver --url-base=/wd/hub --port=9515 --verbose

But the webdriver can't start google-chrome-stable because of this error:

[3726:3726:1125/212018.780327:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

The full executable that webdriver is trying to run is /usr/bin/google-chrome --allow-pre-commit-input --disable-background-networking --disable-client-side-phishing-detection --disable-default-apps --disable-hang-monitor --disable-popup-blocking --disable-prompt-on-repost --disable-sync --enable-automation --enable-blink-features=ShadowDOMV0 --enable-logging --log-level=0 --no-first-run --no-service-autorun --password-store=basic --remote-debugging-port=0 --test-type=webdriver --use-mock-keychain --user-data-dir=/tmp/.com.google.Chrome.6vECbs

Indeed there are two args missing to make it work in LXC headless: --no-sandbox and --headless
If I run the same command with these two arguments then chrome does not crash (but obviously the session is detached from changedetection.io and completly useless).

Is there a way to make changedetection.io pass these two arguments to the webdriver which in turn will pass down to google-chrome-stable?

I also took a peek at the source code but I am not familiar with python nor with this repo.

Thank you very much!

I would really recommend playwright+browserless over selenium

Sorry to bother you, but I tried to figure it out by myself looking at other issues and docs, but was not able to figure out where to start.
It seems I need this piece of documentation but unluckily it has to be written yet. 😭
I would be really thankful for any help or guidance anyone would like to provide regarding this subject 🤗
