I have a pdf generation controller in my nodejs application which is running on the app platform. It requires me to use a version of Chromium; on my local machine (Mac os) it works seamlessly however when I try to install it on the app platform it asks me for the superuser credentials. How can I access this user’s password? it is not the same as the one available on the droplet.

Heya,
You do not have superuser privileges on the App Platform. Since that platform is managed by DigitalOcean you don’t have such permissions.
You can try using a Dockerfile to install Chromium:
