## :sparkles: Overview
**Screenshot** is a simple application to automagically convert URLs into images and PDFs. It's designed to be simple and easy to install anywhere. This application is split into two distinct components, the core service to process the URL and then send it to a remote browser (Chrome). The remote browser to screenshot and generate PDF from a URL.

## :zap: Installation
We'll be using Docker as an easy way to install. However since this is a Node.js application, you can run it with your current setup, if you choose this method, please see [config/index.js](config/index.js) to change the remote browser endpoint.
### Run the browser
We'll be using the **browserless/chrome** Docker image to do most of this work.
```bash
docker run -d \
--name chrome \
-e "ENABLE_DEBUGGER=false" \
-e "DISABLE_AUTO_SET_DOWNLOAD_BEHAVIOR=true" \
-e "DEFAULT_BLOCK_ADS=true" \
-p 3000:3000 \
browserless/chrome:latest
```
To see more options, you can check [full documentation](https://docs.browserless.io/docs/docker.html).
### Run the app
```bash
docker run -d \
--name screenshot \
-e "REMOTE_BROWSER=ws://172.17.0.1:3000" \
-p 5000:5000 \
statically/screenshot:latest
```
Replace the `REMOTE_BROWSER` variable with the remote browser endpoint that you set above. In this example we are using Docker's internal IP address, it should work if you are running both components on one machine.
