Need additional installs/config to work on Alpine

[Mosterhout]

Install issues/process change on Alpine 3.21 - Not really an issue with the code more my system but wanted to share for others

Issue 1 - libc6-compat
when trying to execute the script i was getting a file not found error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

On alpine containers, having the not found error is a typical symptom of dynamic link failure. We need to bear in mind that alpine uses the musl libc library so if the executable is looking for glibc executables it won't find them.

I am running this on Alpine 3.21 and had to install libc6-compat.

Issue 2 - chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127
Running "chromedriver --version" told me i was missing the following librarys
shared library libnss3.so
shared library libnssutil3.so
shared library libnspr4.so
shared library libxcb.so.1

Fixed libnss3.so, libnssutil3.so, libnspr4.so with "apk add nss"

Fixed libxcb.so.1 with "apk add libxcb"

Issue 3 - need to install Chrome
apk add chromium

Issue4 - This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114
need to add the following line to the top section of MCSA.py:
from webdriver_manager.core.os_manager import ChromeType

Also needed to replace the following line
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=chrome_options)
WITH
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install()), options=chrome_options )

Then i was able to get the script work
