Taking screenshots of URLs using Google Puppeteer on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk

Screenshot URLs with Puppeteer on Elastic Beanstalk

This demo app uses the Grover gem to get a screenshot of a URL using Puppeteer; headless Chromium.

Setting it up to work on Elastic Beanstalk proved to be difficult with many missing dependencies in Amazon Linux 2.

The basics for a Rails app though are;

• bundle add grover
• yarn add puppeteer
• See config/initializers/grover.rb for better defaults like viewport width and height, full_page etc.
• See .ebextensions/packages.config for the yum dependencies
