## Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems setting up Google Chrome or Chromium, see the [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Troubleshooting#chromiumgoogle-chrome) page.
## Using a Chromium/Chrome Profile
You may choose to set up a Chromium user profile in order to use your cookies/sessions to log into sites behind authentication/paywall.
You must set up the profile using the exact same version of chrome that ArchiveBox is running (which can be found with `archivebox version`).
You can download old versions of Chrome in order to match it from https://chromium.cypress.io.
**General steps:**
1. install desired chromium version in directory shared as a Docker volume `/data/chrome-linux/chrome`
2. run vncserver as archivebox user and run chromium in vnc session to generate cookies
3. Close chromium in vncserver session
4. chmod -R ugo+rwx /opt/archivebox/.config/chromium
5. mount /opt/archivebox/.config/chromium as docker volume /data/chromium
6. set `archivebox config --set CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/data/chromium`
7. set `archivebox config --set CHROME_BINARY=/data/chrome-linux/chrome` (installed version of chrome now common between host VNC session and docker container)
8. `chown -R archivebox:archivebox /opt/archivebox/`
Now profile is now generated and used by same instance of chrome on docker host and container.
Each step is crucial, especially the permissions and matching the binary inside of Docker and outside.
