Answer 1

This error message...

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /root/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/114.0.5735.90/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 255

...implies that WebDriverException was raised as chromedriver unexpectedly exited.

As per the discussion Message: Service /root/.local/share/undetected_chromedriver/ae9b10e548ec168c_chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 255 this error can surface if the platform is linux and machine is aarch64 to indicate additional configuration and installs outside this package is required.

Solution

The easiest solution would be to download the ChromeDriver yourself from ChromeDriver-Downloads and pass the location through an instance of the Service object as follows:

options = Options()   
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service('/path/to/chromedriver'), options=options)    
driver.get(url)

Further, if you are using Selenium v4.6 or above you don't have to explicitly use ChromeDriverManager().install() anymore as Selenium Manager can silently download the matching ChromeDriver and your minimal code block can be:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com/")
