Running Puppeter inside Docker Container - docker

Question

I'm trying to run my application in container, this is my Dockerfile:
FROM node:12-slim
WORKDIR /app
# Install Chrome
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y wget gnupg \
&& wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - \
&& sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \
&& apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf libxss1 \
--no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN yarn add puppeteer \
# Add user so we don't need --no-sandbox.
# same layer as npm install to keep re-chowned files from using up several hundred MBs more space
&& groupadd -r pptruser && useradd -r -g pptruser -G audio,video pptruser \
&& mkdir -p /home/pptruser/Downloads \
&& chown -R pptruser:pptruser /home/pptruser \
&& chown -R pptruser:pptruser /node_modules
USER pptruser
CMD ["google-chrome-stable"]
COPY package.json ./
RUN yarn install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["yarn","start"]
I wrap my puppeter function with try catch, and when I try to run the application the catch is trigged:
try{
...
}catch(error){
Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.\n\n\nTROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md\n"}]
}
I add this arg const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'] });
My docker-compose:
version: '3.7'
services:
api:
build: .
ports:
- "3000:3000"
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
init: true
container_name: web_scraping
I'm running the docker-compose, none erro appers while it is running, only when I call the api the catch is trigged

Answer 1

follow this Node.js + Puppeteer on Docker, No usable sandbox answer, I got this
docker-compose:
version: '3.7'
services:
api:
build: .
ports:
- "3000:3000"
container_name: web_scraping
Dockerfile:
FROM node:12
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y wget gnupg ca-certificates \
&& wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - \
&& sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \
&& apt-get update \
# We install Chrome to get all the OS level dependencies, but Chrome itself
# is not actually used as it's packaged in the node puppeteer library.
# Alternatively, we could could include the entire dep list ourselves
# (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#chrome-headless-doesnt-launch-on-unix)
# but that seems too easy to get out of date.
&& apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
&& wget --quiet https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vishnubob/wait-for-it/master/wait-for-it.sh -O /usr/sbin/wait-for-it.sh \
&& chmod +x /usr/sbin/wait-for-it.sh
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json ./
RUN yarn install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["yarn","start"]
And Add this args in launch instance:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
args: [
'--no-sandbox',
'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
],
});
