I am thinking to develop some automatic task from selenium, today i doit from my local computer, with a local browser. Im looking to deploy this python app in a webserver, and I need to know if exist any way to start a local selenium browser from an app deployed on a webserver.
You can use any cloud computing company (azure, google cloud, AWS - just to name a few). most of them offers free trials with balance that can be sufficient for a few months depending upon what resources you need.
once you have an account with one of this services you need to setup a virtual machine. I installed Ubuntu Linux and I used it with RDP to connect to a Desktop GUI interface. I installed the driver for the browser I wanted to use and just activated my script.
this took me around 2 hours to setup and it was my first time doing this ever.
its possible start a local selenium task, from a webserver?
