I cannot seem to get Puppeteer running on node.

So I modified my nixpacks to use node 18.16.

[phases.setup]
  nixpkgsArchive = '4ecab3273592f27479a583fb6d975d4aba3486fe'

[phases.setup]
  nixpkgsArchive = '4ecab3273592f27479a583fb6d975d4aba3486fe'

I'm using :

this.browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: "new",
      args: ["--no-sandbox", "--disable-setuid-sandbox"],
      ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions']
    });

this.browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: "new",
      args: ["--no-sandbox", "--disable-setuid-sandbox"],
      ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions']
    });

But I keep getting this error:

file:///app/node_modules/@puppeteer/browsers/lib/esm/launch.js:268
reject(new Error([
^
Error: Failed to launch the browser process! undefined
[19:19:0813/053526.608441:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(100)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Although we can clearly see that the --no-sandbox flag is being passed. package.json:

"puppeteer": "^20.7.2"

"puppeteer": "^20.7.2"

If anyone could help out.

Solution:

Finally, I think using browserless might be the easiest solution 🙂

1d5edfc1-e62a-4374-b521-39406854b371 FYI, I've also tried the nixpacks:

[phases.setup]
  nixpkgsArchive = '4ecab3273592f27479a583fb6d975d4aba3486fe'
  aptPkgs = [
    'fonts-liberation',
    'libappindicator3-1',
    'libasound2',
    'libatk-bridge2.0-0',
    'libatk1.0-0',
    'libgbm1',
    'libgtk-3-0',
    'libnspr4',
    'libnss3',
    'libx11-xcb1',
    'libxcomposite1',
    'libxcursor1',
    'libxdamage1',
    'libxfixes3',
    'libxi6',
    'libxrandr2',
    'libxss1',
    'libxtst6',
    'xdg-utils'
  ]

Do you have chrome installed on the docker image?

Also, just saying this since puppeteer is basically synonymous with userbots ( but I know it has other usecases ) railway doesn't allow userbots on their platform ( https://railway.app/legal/fair-use for more info )

Railway

Fair Use

Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.

just in case you happen to be running something similar ^

Right, but. Not its not. Its to run a playcanvas instance. Puppeteer does install chrome when installed by yarn.
