Running google chrome puppeteer on Vultr, Digital Ocean, Heroku, Or GAE - google-chrome

Question

I have tried to run Google Chrome puppeteer on Heroku, GAE flex, Digital Ocean, and Vultr but at the route where I use puppeteer the instance just hangs until it errors with 502. I'm using this simple code:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
(async() => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
browser.close();
res.send('screen grabbed');
})();
});
module.exports = router;
I know puppeteer works with node 6 now but I'm setting package.json as follows:
{
"name": "puppeteer",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/www",
"deploy": "gcloud app deploy --version dev"
},
"engines": {
"node": "8.4.0"
},
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "~1.17.1",
"cookie-parser": "~1.4.3",
"debug": "~2.6.3",
"express": "~4.15.2",
"morgan": "~1.8.1",
"pug": "~2.0.0-beta11",
"puppeteer": "^0.10.2",
"serve-favicon": "~2.4.2"
}
}
In Vultr Ubuntu 16.04 x64 I get the following error:
Error: Failed to launch chrome!
/root/mysite/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-497674/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Answer 1

I solved by making sure the following dependencies for puppeteer were installed if not :
Installed all the dependencies
sudo apt-get install gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget
Then pass args to the puppeteer launch command like so:
(async() => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']});
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
res.send('screen grabbed');
browser.close();
})();

I tried the above answer but no luck in DigitaOcean Ubuntu droplet.
So I installed google-chrome-stable in the droplet, that works.
Add Key:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
Set repository:
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
Install package:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
