Issue with Google Chrome Install in Dockerfile (Raspberry Pi)

[Ralfons-06]

Hi Guys,

I'm running into problems while building the image for Docker. The Error occurs when Google Chrome get's installed

Can somebody help me out?

Hello Ralfons-06!

Thanks for reaching out. This could possibly be related to your hardware... are you running Docker build on an Apple M1 by any chance?

[Ralfons-06]

Hi Alexander, no i run docker on a raspberry pi 4 B (with Raspberry Pi OS), so it should be an ARM processor.

[alexanderroidl]

Currently our Docker build is exclusively available for 64-bit-based systems. ☹️ I will take a look on getting it running on ARM somewhen soon, but feel free to try yourself in the meantime! 👍

Essentially the problem seems to be that Google Chrome is unavailable on ARM-based systems, but Chromium is.

[Ralfons-06]

This solution worked for me Chrome Driver for Linux32. Though, i decided to run flathunter in plain Raspbian OS instead of a Docker Container.
I just had to manually install the chromium driver and use the installation to set up the webdriver in the abstract_crawler file:

# manually configure browser
chrome_options.BinaryLocation = "/usr/bin/chromium-browser"
driver_path = "/usr/bin/chromedriver"

if driver_arguments is not None:
    for driver_argument in driver_arguments:
        chrome_options.add_argument(driver_argument)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    service=Service(driver_path),
    options=chrome_options
)

@Ralfons-06 Running Flathunter on plain Raspbian seems to be a good quick solution at this time. I'm currently working on getting an ARMv7 image built and running and will let you guys know when it's ready.

Coming to allowing for setting a manual chromedriver path, this will also be implemented really soon.

@Ralfons-06 I'm also trying to run this on my raspberry. Did you just append the code block at the end of abstract_crawler?

I replaced:

flathunter/flathunter/abstract_crawler.py

Lines 56 to 62 in 0b5445d

	if driver_arguments is not None:
	for driver_argument in driver_arguments:
	chrome_options.add_argument(driver_argument)
	driver = webdriver.Chrome(
	service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()),
	options=chrome_options
	)

with:

# manually configure browser
chrome_options.BinaryLocation = "/usr/bin/chromium-browser"
driver_path = "/usr/bin/chromedriver"

if driver_arguments is not None:
    for driver_argument in driver_arguments:
        chrome_options.add_argument(driver_argument)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    service=Service(driver_path),
    options=chrome_options
)

to initilialize the webdriver with a local chromium installation.
Make sure to run sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver beforehand, so the local chromium driver is installed

Edit: Not sure if that still works

[MyaccountNo1]

Thanks for your update! I actually did exactly that but it didn't work because of a wrongly installed driver. When I reverted the changes and tried again it worked like a charm. Thanks

Is there a way to turn this into a pull request, with some platform-specific detection? (e.g. platform.processor() plus platform.system()? Would one of you consider making a pull request for Rasbian support?

[ma-kopka]

Has there been any solution to that? It's not running on my installation on a Raspberry Pi either because of the Chromium issue

[codders]

@Ma194 Are you running in Docker? Or plain Raspbian? Have you tried the solution from @Ralfons-06 ?
