To configure your Puppeteer web scraping robot on a VPS, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a VPS provider: There are several VPS providers like DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, and Google Cloud. Choose the one which suits your requirement and budget.

  2. Install Node.js: Once you have your VPS up and running, install Node.js to run your Puppeteer code.

  3. Install Puppeteer: Install the Puppeteer library using the Terminal or Command Prompt. Use the following command to install Puppeteer:

    npm i puppeteer

  4. Set up your code: Write your Puppeteer code and save it on the VPS.

  5. Launch the browser instance: In your code, launch an instance of the browser with the following code:

    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--no-sandbox'] });
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    
  6. Scrape the website: Use Puppeteer to scrape the website and extract the required data.

  7. Run your Puppeteer script: Once you have tested your code, run it using the following command:

    node filename.js

By following these steps, you can configure your Puppeteer web scraping robot on a VPS.
