PhantomJS about frontend HOT 5 CLOSED

Taking a screenshot of fronts would be a useful editorial tool. It has been spoken of in the past to collect a record of the site.

Chris Cross did something like this for Editorial, worth asking him first.

Yup, initially the box is just a nicer, programmable, version of what our current external monitoring solution gives us, but no reason we couldn't add to it. Interestingly phantom lets you control viewport size so you could screen grab and many resolutions.

I got https://code.google.com/p/harstorage running from the standard AWS Ubuntu :-

# python
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install python-cairo
sudo apt-get install python-rsvg
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

# mongo
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
sudo echo "deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen" >  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

# web app
sudo easy_install pylons==1.0
sudo easy_install pymongo
sudo easy_install webob==1.0.8
wget http://harstorage.googlecode.com/files/harstorage-1.0-py2.7.egg
sudo easy_install harstorage-1.0-py2.7.egg

# conf
paster make-config "harstorage" production.ini
paster setup-app production.ini
sudo paster serve production.ini

... which runs it on port 5000.

Then on some other box,

phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs/examples/netsniff.js http://m.guardian.co.uk > har
curl -X POST -F file=@har http://ec2-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5000/results/upload

from frontend.

@phamann did this. It's running in production. Find the har logs in s3.
