Web Screenshots experiments

Sample Flask web app for taking web page screenshots using Selenium PhantomJS driver. Runs on Heroku.

Note: this is a very simple experiment. There are probably many better implementations out there.

See scrn.herokuapp.com for example.

Heroku configs

This app uses heroku-buildpack-multi buildpack. Pass the buildpack as param during app creation or configure it later using BUILDPACK_URL var.

heroku apps:create app-name --buildpack https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

Inspect the heroku config and make sure that the following vars are set (and add them if missing):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/app/vendor/phantomjs/lib
PATH:            /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/app/vendor/phantomjs/bin
