Automated Scan Service

This simple web service will scan of a given URL, outputting web accessibility related notices.

Requirements

You must have axe-core cli and its dependencies running on your web server. PHP 7+ must also be installed.

Setup on Linux

After you setup a LEMP web server..

1. Install node and npm.
2. Install Selenium and dependencies - note: when installing chromdriver, you'll need to install the latest version
3. Install axe-cli.
4. Start chromedriver: chromedriver --port=4444.
5. Add axe-equalify wherever you want to run the web service.
6. Run [yourdomain]/?url=[yoururl], replacing [yourdomain] and [yoururl]. You should see an output of axe.

Additional Notes

• axe-core kept saying that I had the wrong version of chromedriver installed. I had the correct version. I had to add the flag --chromedriver-path /usr/local/bin/chromedriver to the axe-core call.
• axe-core had an error related to the chromedriver sanbox settings. I had to add --chrome-options="no-sandbox to the axe-core call.
