chrome alpine-linux podman gpu-passthrough

I'm trying to run headless Chrome in a container using Alpine Linux, I'm getting > Passthrough is not supported, GL is swiftshader The commands to get this are pretty simple,

podman run -ti alpine:3 /bin/sh <



What I get is a log like this,

[1207/044552.896481:WARNING:dns_config_service_linux.cc(470)] Failed to read DnsConfig.
[1207/044552.903662:WARNING:vaapi_wrapper.cc(589)] VAAPI video acceleration not available for swiftshader
[1207/044552.903753:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(441)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is swiftshader
[1207/044552.942968:WARNING:dns_config_service_linux.cc(470)] Failed to read DnsConfig.

How can I run headless chrome? What am I doing wrong? What is "passthrough" and why isn't it supported?
