docker-selenium VS changedetection.io

Edit: I got some parts of it running. This video is very helpful. I gave up on the official docker repository for change detection io and switched to the LSIO version. I had to first install and run the docker Selenium container (available here). I installed the standalone version of Chrome from that page. Now I added one line to the docker-compose.yml in the environment section (as mentioned in the video. I did not add BASE_URL) and that was "WEBDRIVER_URL=http://192.168.1.15:4444" (this has to be an actual IP address, can't use "localhost" or anything else. I redeployed the container and the webdriver worked.

Selenium with Docker Selenium Grid https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium. Isolated and scalable.

Next is the image that we are using to run the docker command. Here we are using the Selenium Firefox standalone image with tag 4.0.0-rc-1-prerelease-20210618. More information about the latest versions available can be found from the official Selenium Github repository and the Docker hub public registry.

If you run your own, you need to account for your computer's processing power. That is the bottleneck. Check out this repo for more info. https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium

Same. I had sucess with https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium

If you look on selenium's dockerhub, there are many images to chose from which are much newer. As far as I'm concerned, that image is abandoned and I would definitely not use it. Not saying it is the reason for whatever happened to you, but kind of shocking that change detection is recommending it.

Playwright has a limitation that restricts running tests in Selenium Grid to only the version prior to 4.5.2-20221021 (at the time of this writing - February/2023).

I literally clicked on your link, followed the instructions and found this.

I use ChangeDetection,

- https://changedetection.io/#features

- https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

I used a business to business website that lists every single company in this industry by location and has a link for each to generate a list of companys and URLS. I monitor this for changes with changedetection.io

0.45.8 is out! Support for xPath2.0/3.0 means you can use logic in your selectors (for example, give the count of the number of divs that contain certain text, and much more). UI improvements, Selectable browser (plug it into Bright Data's scraping browser!) and more, check it out! Much ❤ from the changedetection team. https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io / changedetection.io

The wiki is pretty easy to follow. The instructions here are the ones I followed. Simply uncommented the lines mentioned.

Hello, Is there a free alternative to this website changedetection.io ?

hey all - I noticed after showing our homepage ( changedetection.io ) to a lot of friends at the bar, they all click on the picture/screenshot at the top expecting a short video, but theres nothing there :) I remember there was some service that can build one for you? Or is it better to make it your self.. ? if so.. which tech do you use? (linux here)

Love from the changedetection.io crew ❤❤❤

You can use an open-source tool like this one: https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
