TODO: Install screen

sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
service = Service('/home/pi/Desktop/chromedriver')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

The static IP should be in the same subnet with the default gateway.
In my new network my default network is "192.168.11.1", so I had to use a static IP in the subnet "192.168.11.x"

To configure the wifi you'll need to edit the file wpa_supplicant.conf

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

File format:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=MA

network={
    ssid="SSID_HERE"
    psk="PASSWORD_HERE"
}

if for some reason the vncserver isn't running, or the default one isn't running which runs usually at port 5900, you can try to launch another one on port 5901 or 5902 etc. by running "vncserver :1" this will launch a vncserver on 5901, then you can use as a hostname the ip:1.

Example:
you run "hosntame -I" you get "192.162.11.105", you use as hostname on RealVNC "192.168.11.105:1"

for puppeteer use

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({product: "chrome", executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser"})

for whatsapp-js

const { Client, LocalAuth, sessionCfg } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { product: "chrome", executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser" } });

service = Service(get_service_path())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

driver.get("https://example.com/")

example of whatsapp-web.js (not sure if it still works as of today)

const fs = require('fs');
var stream = fs.createWriteStream("log.txt", {flags:'a'});

const { Client, LocalAuth, sessionCfg } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
//const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth() });
const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { product: "chrome", executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser" } });
//const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth() })
const qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');

client.on('qr', qr => {
  console.log("let's go")
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});


client.on('message_create', async msg => {
  if (msg.body == '!ping') {
    msg.reply('pong');
  }
  if (msg.body.toLowerCase() == '!publicip') {
   msg.reply(shell.exec('curl ifconfig.me'))
  }
});
 
client.initialize();

sudo netstat -tlnp | grep vnc

this to check on which PORT the vncserver is listening. You can restart it through sudo systemctl restart vncserver-x11-serviced.
And if you notice that the port is not equal to 5900 for some reason, you can edit the config file from sudo nano config.d/vncserver-x11

A better solution than screen is tmux. To launch something as a service you can use
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/tswira.service

service looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Run tswira_follow_likers.sh on startup in tmux
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "sleep 30 && sudo -u pi tmux new-session -d -s tswira_session '/home/pi/Desktop/archive/ig_bot_selenium/bash_scripts/tswira_follow_likers.sh'"
RemainAfterExit=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload and enable the service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable tswira.service

** (Optional) Start it manually to test**
sudo systemctl start tswira.service

Check status or logs

sudo systemctl status tswira.service
journalctl -u tswira.service
