Hi, I’m getting this error when I want to run puppeteer on digital ocean app platform.
Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
/workspace/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-1022525/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
From what I’ve heard, the solution seems to be to install the missing dependencies by running sudo apt-get install
, but I can’t do that on the app platform.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks.

Hey OP or anyone else who finds this, I’ve written a NodeJS version of the Dockerfile that (it appears) has accomplished what you and I both needed.
Dockerfile https://gist.github.com/BrianVia/5826f1057e2d6c07836a2c3fc5ce4104
And the app spec portion looked like this:
Hi there,
Indeed with the App Platform you can not install packages directly.
What you could do instead is to use a Dockerfile and specify all of the packages and dependencies that you need in there and deploy your app that way:

Hope that this helps!
Best,
