dang

i wonder if it would be possible to download and run from KV 🤔

I wonder if it's even at all possible to run chromium in a service worker environment

oh yea its been done

oh huh

p sure AWS Lambda is service worker right?

think that could be a node.js environment

It's difficult-to-impossible to execute arbitrary code in Workers that you've loaded in from another source. I'm curious what you're trying to use Chromium to do?

dang

im trying to see if i could get away with creating a HTML to image service

i made a app for my company last year and while its fine, i just want to see what else i could do with it

no idea if it will work, but you might be able to run something like librsvg in wasm

definitely not chromium tho

have wanted to do something very similar 😦

from my research i dont think its possible with a service worker environment

the conversion from format to image just requires too much low level code

AWS Lambda is a full blown Linux distribution where you can install native libraries in etc. Even so, installing chromium in there isn't trivial.

I wanted ffmpeg wasm in worker but it was too big... I once got a stripped down ffmpeg to around 800kb but it wasn’t functional and getting it to work in a worker was well beyond my grasp.

Was thinking thumbnail generation or even very short transcodes could be possible.

Have you looked at Microsoft Playwright or Puppeteer? I've used both but prefer Playwright. They both have screenshot capability. I'm also doing an HTML to image project and using Playwright for it. I tried to get it to work on Workers, but not luck. So, I'm using Digital Ocean Apps platform with Cloudflare Workers KV to track requests, limit access, etc

without access to run executables and such its a no go

also playwright looks like just another Puppeteer clone imo

the most realistic way you could do it without script size limits is to push something like LibrSVG to WASM with all of its deps

you need access to run sub processes for Puppeteer to work which sucks but understandable

i'd love to see if i can hack it together but im just not sure how much time i can spend on this x.x

hi, this is off-topic but very interesting. if anyone’s interested in decentralisation, deplatforming or crypto you should check out https://stacks.co

their discord is also here https://discord.gg/Rqc6YGKGmm (not advertising, it’s not my server but there for anyone interested)

traction and attention from cloudflare might be beneficial for both sides, though it’s just an idea

morning 👋
