Installing apt packages for puppeteer

Hi, im trying to run puppeteer on Railway but am getting an error that it cant find some packages. I had the same issue when selfhosting and fixed it by apt installing some stuff. How can i do this on Railway?

Nixpacks has ton of additional packages that you can provide to your build through a nixpacks.toml file in the root of your service dir for example:
[phases.setup]
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'
]
[phases.setup]
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'
]
just put your aptPkgs there and try building it

you can search for the package in https://search.nixos.org/packages if it exists/is supported and you can read more about nixpacks config at https://docs.railway.app/deploy/config-as-code
