How to allow selenium/chrome driver alerts on a droplet

Hello all, I was attempting to automate several processes on a droplet, and yet, for some reason have been running into an issue with the following bit of python code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import time
options = Options()
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size = [1000,1000])
display.start()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
WD = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
print("Webdriver and display loaded")
def loginSC(url,driver, iden, password):    
    result = None
    driver.get (url)
    while result is None:
        try:
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_txtUserName").send_keys(iden)
            driver.find_element (By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_txtPassword").send_keys(password)
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_btnLogin").click()
            result=1
        except:
            time.sleep(5)
            print("Trying again...1")
    print("Page 1 Loaded!")
    result = None
    print(driver.current_url)
    while result is None:
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_chkCampus_1").click()
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_chkSymptoms_8").click()
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_chkPolicyConfirmation").click()
            driver.find_element(By.ID,"ContentPlaceHolder1_btnSubmit").click()
            time.sleep(5)
            driver.switch_to.alert.accept();
            result=1	    

While this runs fine on my own PC, it gives the following error when run on my droplet:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element:
Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="alert1"]"}
  (Session info: chrome=98.0.4758.80)

I can’t seem to find a way to make the driver “see” the alert, and I suspect it has something to do with the mandatory no-sandbox mode. How can I circumvent this?
