This is driving me crazy, did not think it would be this hard to get a headless chromium instance running with puppeteer launch config. Here's the error:
# launching puppeteer with config {"args":["--no-sandbox","--disable-setuid-sandbox","--disable-dev-shm-usage","--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas","--no-first-run","--no-zygote","--single-process","--disable-gpu","--headless"],"headless":true,"devtools":false,"timeout":90000,"executablePath":"/usr/bin/chromium","dumpio":true}

Here is my Dockerfile:
FROM node:16.13

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
VOLUME ["/usr/src/app"]
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY . /usr/src/app

RUN yarn install

RUN chmod -R 777 /usr/src/app

ENTRYPOINT [ "./entrypoint.sh" ]
EXPOSE 80
Here is my entrypoint.sh:
#!/bin/bash

# Startup Xvfb
Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

# Export some variables
export DISPLAY=:99.0

npm run-script deploy-force && npm start && sleep 6000
And here is my Puppeteer config:
const puppeteerConfig = {
	args: [
		'--no-sandbox',
		'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
		'--disable-dev-shm-usage',
		'--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas',
		'--no-first-run',
		'--no-zygote',
		'--single-process', // <- this one doesn't works in Windows
		'--disable-gpu',
		'--headless'
	],
	headless: true,
	devtools: false,
	timeout: 90000,
	executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium',
	dumpio: true
};
I thought by running Xvfb my x11 connection would just happen?
