Updated Chrome via yum to version 86.0.4240.75-1 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
Did the following as root (checked on the VM "CENTOS78-test" first) to fix:
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip uninstall chromedriver-binary # /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install chromedriver-binary
Note: you can also do specific versions of chromedrive-binary (see available versions at https://pypi.org/project/chromedriver-py/#history):
# python3 -m pip install chromedriver-binary==90.0.4430.24.0
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;
# chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
6 Oct 2020
# python3 -m pip install demjson # python3 -m pip install wheel
26 Aug 2020
Updated Chrome via yum to version 85.0.4183.83-1 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
Did the following as root to fix:
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip uninstall chromedriver-binary
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install chromedriver-binary
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;
# chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
Re-ran the cron and script worked.
20 May 2020
Updated Chrome via yum to version 83.0.4103.61-1 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
Did the following as root to fix:
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary
# /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
# find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;
# chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
Re-ran the cron and script worked.
Then tried looking at old packages needing an update:
# cd /usr/local/bin # ./pip3 list --outdated # pip_upgrade_outdated
8 April 2020
Upgraded Chrome via yum to version 81.0.4044.92 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
Did the following as root to fix:
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 install pip-upgrade-outdated
# cd /usr/local/bin

The pip upgrade moved the astral package to v2.1 which broke sun.py and it needed some major changes. Had to work through the Astral package docs.
11 December 2019
Upgraded Chrome via yum to version 79.0.3945.79 and now check_envoy.pl fails.
Did the following as root to fix:
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 uninstall chromedriver-binary
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 install chromedriver-binary
# /usr/local/bin/pip3 install pip-upgrade-outdated
# pip-upgrade-outdated
# find /usr -name "chromedriver" -exec ls -l {} \;

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
# chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chromedriver_binary/chromedriver
Note that both /usr/bin/pip3.6 and /usr/local/bin/pip3.6 exist on the system now…needs to be fixed.
With CentOS7.7, python3 can load from base. Do the following to fix previously-installed IUS release:
# yum remove python36u # yum install python3 # yum remove ius-release
Install Python 3.6 on CentOS 7:
Do some local configuration for my scripts (su - root):
pip3.6 install --upgrade pip pip3.6 install --upgrade httplib2 pip3.6 install pymysql pip3.6 install selenium pip3.6 install selenium-wire pip3.6 install chromedriver pip3.6 install chromedriver_binary pip3.6 install dictor pip3.6 install wget pip3.6 install pip-upgrade-outdated pip3.6 install pytz pip3.6 install astral
Note: replace the "pip3.6 install" with "/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install"
To update all pip packages:
# pip_upgrade_outdated
Note that https://pypi.org/project/pip-upgrade-outdated/ is a good resource to update all PIP packages.
Download and install geckodriver (see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)
As root, copy geckodriver to /usr/local/bin and ensure permissions are 755
