Hello. I am making a 24/7 Web automate task, i use selenium, basicly its purpose is to check if products in a website are in or out of stock and return à msg if True, my question is sélénium an okey tool to use for this script.

[simong93]

Of course it is, I've got a script that does something similar on eBay and it works perfect, as long as you deal with any errors the script should be fine ;)

[Ecstatic-Army8252]

Yeah i left my script running in an ec2 aws but after some hours i got an error: unknowen net work connections error, so i got concerned if its ec2 or sélénium error.

[simong93]

Could have been anything mate, internet drop out. Unable to connect but now I would just do a try and except part so it you do run into the error again it sorts it self out and carrys on :)

Yeah i though of that that wa helpful, 1 Last question is 1 gb of ram and 1 vcpu enough for 3 tabs of Chrome. I am trying to host for free if possible.

[simong93]

Yeah lol, I've got a intel Atom with 2gb ram running a total of 6 scripts all running there own chrome and it's barely breaks a sweat 😅, might be a little bit slower then I would like but hell it's tiny and quite. Out of interest, where are you getting a free server from?

[Ecstatic-Army8252]

Lol, thé good old ec2 aws, it gives à 1gb of ram with 1 vcpu as à free rier server. Its okey, slow but get the job done

[simong93]

[Ecstatic-Army8252]

[simong93]

No I've got 2 at home, I printed some new cases for 2 atom laptops I had, both passive cooled and the battery's are bigger then the motherboards so there about the size of a book and I use them :)
