Solution:
my current recommendation would be to not try installing chrome into the container, but instead use browserless https://railway.app/template/browserless here is a working example of what that looks like in practice https://github.com/brody192/puppeteer-example this would also require you to switch to "puppeteer-core" instead of "puppeteer" so chrome isnt being installed, and your nixpacks.toml can be replaced with the nixpacks.toml thats in that repo....

I originally used browserless, but it's currently failing for scraping chrome web store URLs (it just hangs) https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/senja-testimonial-extensi/lmldakdjelendidnmaieidggbffljlle

the template I linked is an updated version of the template, give it a try is that something you are trying to scrape or is that your app?

Yeah we're using the latest version of everything. On second thought, browserless just doesn't work at all when using page.goto. This snippet just hangs:
Hey! For some reason this code snippet no longer works:

browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: process.env.BROWSER_ENDPOINT,
});

console.log("Connected to browser. Opening new page");
const page = await browser.newPage();
console.log("Page opened. Navigating to the chrome web store");
await page.goto("https://senja.io");

It just hangs at page.goto. Works fine using local puppeteer. Any ideas why? Ah fixed it, was an invalid flag Will try using browserless for this

have you deployed the linked template? it was very recently updated, recently meaning minutes before I sent my initial message in this thread
