Scrape AVM security notifications

This is a bot. It parses a list of AVM security notifications and notices, when new notifications appear on the list.

Platform

The bot is written in JavaScript that runs on top of Node.js and puppeteer.

Configuration

Make sure to set headless to true in avm.js when deploying the bot to a server.

  initialize: async () => {
    avm.browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: false
    });

Deployment

On an Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS you need to:

Install required tools

apt-get install nodejs npm
cd /usr/local/sbin/scrape-avm-security-notifications
npm install puppeteer

Install required dependencies for Chrome headless to run

The following packages are needed:

gconf-service
libasound2
libatk1.0-0
libatk-bridge2.0-0
libc6
libcairo2
libcups2
libdbus-1-3
libexpat1
libfontconfig1
libgcc1
libgconf-2-4
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
libglib2.0-0
libgtk-3-0
libnspr4
libpango-1.0-0
libpangocairo-1.0-0
libstdc++6
libx11-6
libx11-xcb1
libxcb1
libxcomposite1
libxcursor1
libxdamage1
libxext6

libxrandr2
libxrender1
libxss1
libxtst6
ca-certificates
fonts-liberation
libappindicator1
libnss3
lsb-release
xdg-utils
wget

Additional configuration for Chrome headless

As Chrome is triggered by a cron job that runs as root, some additional configuration in avm.js is required

  initialize: async () => {
    avm.browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: true, args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']
    });
