Direct Setup

Prerequisites

• Chrome / Chromium browser installed
• golang installed (for building excutable from source)
• git repository cloned (for building executable)

  
  git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:liuminhaw/wrenderer.git
  
  

Execution steps

1. Build the executable from source under the cloned repository directory.

   
   cd wrenderer
   go build -o wrenderer ./cmd/server
   
   

2. Modify the configuration file wrenderer.toml to match your requirements.
3. Run the executable

   
   ./wrenderer
   
   

Docker Setup

Prerequisites

• Docker installed

Execution steps

1. Modify the configuration file wrenderer.toml to match your requirements.
2. Check docker-compose.yaml file to see if any configuration needs to be changed (Eg. exposed port, volume mount path).
3. Run the docker container using docker-compose

   
   docker-compose up -d
   
   

Middlewares

Add middleware settings to your application for forwarding requests to wrenderer service for bot detection and rendering. Refer to prerender.io integrations, the setup should be similar for wrenderer service.
