Run editly in AWS lambda

[asharafshahi]

Has anyone attempted to run a Nodejs project with editly in AWS lambda? Seems every request to the lambda fails with:

{ "errorType": "Runtime.ImportModuleError", "errorMessage": "Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/canvas.node'\nRequire stack:\n- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/lib/bindings.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/lib/canvas.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/index.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/utils.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/api.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/fabric/dist/fabric.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/editly/sources/fabricFrameSource.js\n- /var/task/node_modules/editly/index.js\n- /var/task/handler.js\n- /var/runtime/UserFunction.js\n- /var/runtime/index.js", "stack": [ "Runtime.ImportModuleError: Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/canvas.node'", "Require stack:", "- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/lib/bindings.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/lib/canvas.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/canvas/index.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/utils.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/jsdom/lib/api.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/fabric/dist/fabric.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/editly/sources/fabricFrameSource.js", "- /var/task/node_modules/editly/index.js", "- /var/task/handler.js", "- /var/runtime/UserFunction.js", "- /var/runtime/index.js", " at _loadUserApp (/var/runtime/UserFunction.js:100:13)", " at Object.module.exports.load (/var/runtime/UserFunction.js:140:17)", " at Object.

The lambda was deployed with serverless and npm packages were installed on a Amazon Linux 2 AMI.

Does this help? https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/Installation:-AWS-Lambda

If anyone created a working AWS lambda with editly I would like to try it out, willing to pay for it as well.

[mifi]

Wth the new docker file it may be easier to get it working now

@ariel-frischer any updates, I am willing to pay for it as well

[ariel-frischer]

@tsejerome Sorry no updates for this, we are working on deployment using EKS clusters instead atm.

is there any step by step tutorial for deploying this please

[mifi]

No, but feel free to make one!

Found that editly uses "xvfb-run" to create a virtual screen and get the frames from that. It is a software that needs to run in the background continuously So, running it would not be possible in AWS Lambda

[mifi]

Can't the code that runs editly also use child_process to start xvfb-run in the backgroiund?
