Using Selenium and Python to screenshot a javascript-heavy page

As websites become more JavaScript heavy, it's harder to automate things like screenshotting for archival purposes. I've seen examples and suggestions to use PhantomJS for visual testing/archiving of websites, but have run into issues such as the non-rendering of webfonts. I've never tried out Selenium until today...and while I'm not thinking about performance implications yet, Selenium seems far more accurate than PhantomJS...which makes sense since it actually opens a real browser. And it's not too hard to script to do complex interactions: here's an [example of how to log in to Twitter, write a tweet, upload an image, and send a tweet via Selenium and DOM element selection](https://gist.github.com/dannguyen/8a6fa49253c1d6a0eb92

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities

desired_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS.copy()
desired_capabilities['phantomjs.page.customHeaders.User-Agent'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) ' \
                                                                  'AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) ' \
                                                                  'Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36'
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)

FreeBSD 10 Nodejs setup with nginx, mongodb, redis and monit

This my receipe for installing a complete nodejs server on FreeBSD 10. The parameters used in this configuration are for a very small private server that I use for demo purpose only, so for a production server, you should somehow set the limits in pair with your ressources.

I use monit so I don't have to write rc scripts for node and it should take care of process lifecycle management for me. Alternatives exists such as supervisord or circus.

Installing mongodb
