🛠 Capabilities and Tech Stack 🛠

Installation

Install all dependencies:

yarn install

Don't forget to create .env (from .env.example).

Run

Development mode

Just run the following command:

yarn dev

Production mode

There are two options to run the application in production:

• using Docker
• and Pm2

Building with Docker

1. Build the application image:

docker build -t <your-repo>/social-media-downloader .

2. Run the image:

docker run -d --name bot --restart unless-stopped <your-repo>/social-media-downloader

Building with Pm2

1. If you are running the process on Ubuntu v22.04 (like me), you will need to install additional dependencies to ensure the bot functions correctly:

# Install Google Chrome Stable and fonts
# Note: this installs the necessary libs to make the browser work with Puppeteer.
apt-get update && apt-get install gnupg wget -y && \
  wget --quiet --output-document=- https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/google-archive.gpg && \
  sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' && \
  apt-get update && \
  apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y --no-install-recommends && \
  rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

2. Start the bot with the following command:

yarn node:start
