Byparr

An alternative to FlareSolverr as a drop-in replacement, build with nodriver and FastAPI.

Important

Currenly, due to bug in nodriver, if you want to run this project ouside of prebuild container, you have to run python fix_nodriver.py after creating venv to patch the library. [!NOTE] Thanks to FastAPI implementation, now you can also see the API documentation at /docs or / (redirect to /docs) endpoints.

Early Development

Long story short, I created it in like 3 days, so if you get any bugs/hangs etc. please report it, so both of us can enjoy unblocked websites!

I focus maily on Cloudflare, which is tested daily, any other anti-bot challenges should pass out of the box, but if any issues, please report these providers with an example website ❤️

Troubleshooting

1. Clone repo to the host that has the container has issues on.
2. Using vscode and SSH extention, connect to the host and open repo in it.
3. Download devcontainers extention and reopen repo in container (with CTRL + SHIFT + P -> Reopen in devcontainer)
4. Write down the port in Ports tab in vscode
5. Open https://novnc.com/noVNC/vnc.html in your pc's browser and using settings on left under websocket, set host to localhost nad port to the port you wrote down
6. Check if chromium works by running in VNCs terminal command chromium --no-sandbox
7. If chrome works, run API by pressing F5 in vscode
8. In Prowlarr (or target client) change port byparr's port to 8181 instead of 8191 (Port opened by and pointing to devcontainer)
9. Check if everything works by testing byparr and observing VNC in browser
