Failed to Launch Browser apify/actor-node-puppeteer-chrome

[PeterPilley]

Using actor-node-puppeteer-chrome in Docker on a remote server.

When attempting to use await page.screenshot I get failed to launch browser process.

Googling around I can see it could be due to missing dependencies with the docker image.

I have tried changing versions of the docker image from 16 to 18 with no change

Ok resolved this by following the instructions here puppeteer/puppeteer#3451

The fix was to take the apify docker file add this
USER root
RUN echo 'kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1' > /etc/sysctl.d/userns.conf
USER myuser # to return to the original user

then add in docker-compose.yml

cap:
- SYS_ADMIN
