chromium-lambda-build

Lambda supported Chromium browser build (lightweight, headless shell).

This purpose of this build is to workaround AWS Lambda container image read-only restrictions.

Dependencies

• Docker

System requirements

• 40GB of free disk space
• 8GB memory available

Start the compilation process

$ make clean
$ make

This will launch the build process in the background. The compiled binary output is written to dist/

Build time

This soley depends on your network speed and system hardware.

For example, when run on a fast network using a system running an Intel i7 with 32GB RAM the entire process takes about 4 hours to complete. Moveover, this processing time can be further reduced by writing to an SSD / SSHD in conjunction with proper sysctl tuning.
