I've been trying to deploy a docker instance and following is the docker script:
However, the server would not be able to start the chromium browser
# Stage 1: Build
FROM node:20-slim AS builder
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN yarn install --legacy-peer-deps
# Stage 2: Runtime
FROM ghcr.io/puppeteer/puppeteer:latest
USER root
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY --from=builder /usr/src/app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
# Set correct permissions and create required directories
RUN sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app/dist && \
chown -R pptruser:pptruser /usr/src/app
# Switch to non-root user
USER pptruser
CMD ["yarn", "run", "dev"]
Following is the error dump:
Error: Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /home/pptruser/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/linux-136.0.7103.94/chrome-linux64/chrome ENOENT
