I want to do browser based (selenium) web scraping with AWS Lambda functions but the only headless chrome binary is being fucky.

My lambda has a file system at /mnt/efs so my next thought is to install chrome or Firefox in a specific folder on that file system. Is this possible in Linux?

You should be able to find tar.gz files of Firefox or Chromium that can be extracted and run anywhere.

I tried to find Firefox portable for Linux to no avail. I’ll try Chromium

Can’t try it until work tomorrow but it looks like maybe there may be chromium binaries I can download.
