have you tried using the browserless template instead of running chrome in your container?

I do not want to pay for a browserless subscription and was hoping to host all on Railway. Browserless is quite pricy I believe

you can self host it on railway with the ready made browserless template

https://railway.app/template/browserless

Yes, but you need a Browserless subscription to use this

no you don't

I do not want to purchase Browserless as I need to do mass amounts of scraping. The job runs locally using Pupeteer, so why would I need to purchase Browserless?

oh

Perhaps I'm confused what this does

but you should know scraping is in railways tos, so unless you have permission to scrape what you are scraping, it wouldn't be allowed on Railway

Yes I do

then you're all set

So how can I use this? I can look around, but i seems like you put the browserless url from this instance into your pupeteer initializer?

please see this example -

So does Railway pay to host Browserless then?

and this is something we get to use

Thank you, can try it out

you don't need to pay anything to self host browserless, I'm not sure where you are getting that from

they have a license required on their site to self-host, so i assumed you had to pay

hmm

are you using it for commercial use?

not quite? we use it scrape information that powers our product, but its not like we sell the scraping as a service

sounds good to me
