Running headless Firefox or chrome in DigitalOcean
I am trying to run headless Chrome or Firefox in DigitalOcean and have tried alot of solutions but none seem to work.
The code works superb in my local system but in my DigitalOcean server it doesn't.
This is a test i am using to test headless Firefox
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
# print("open virtual display")
with Display():
print("open Firefox browser")
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.set_window_size(1120, 550)
url = 'http://arbspiper.com/'
browser.get(url)
title = browser.title
print(title)
browser.quit()
The error i get is
Traceback (most recent call last):
