Hello,
The package spatie/laravel-pdf requires underlying Browshershot and Puppeteer. Missing libraries must be installed for this, like libnss3.

If I understand correctly, you have to create your own Dockerfile for this. I use App Platform so I didn’t have to do this, so I don’t know how to get this done.
Is there a Dockerfile example for a Laravel app?

Hello @abzor
You could use serversideup/php Docker images as a starting point for your project.
In particular the 8.4-fpm-nginx tag which integrates nginx and fpm.
An example of a simple Dockerfile using this image and installing the libnss3 package could be the following:
FROM serversideup/php:8.4-fpm-nginx
# Switch to root so we can do root things
USER root
# Install nss3 library
RUN apt update && apt install -y libnss3
# Drop back to our unprivileged user
USER www-data
COPY --chown=www-data:www-data . /var/www/html
RUN composer install --optimize-autoloader --prefer-dist --no-dev --no-interaction
Let me know if this works for you.
