This looks really cool. Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is? I’m only hesitant because I don’t know

Almost. You want to make sure to keep it as up-to-date as you would a regular Chrome browser. It does almost everything a regular Chrome does, including running arbitrary scripts on websites.
Makes sense. The videos I saw about setting it up mentioned a headless chrome browser. But I’m new to self-hosting and didn’t know if it had to be chrome or if you could use a better option, since you can use an OLLAMA instead of chatgpt for example
@ItJustDonn@486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a _really_ bad idea. And unnecessary, since there’s a hoarder user installed later in the script…
