Permission issues with browsershot and puppeteer

[owls-bd]

I am attempting to use spatie/laravel-pdf to generate pdf from my laravel sail app. After setting up chromium-broswer via dockerfile, I run into the error below when attempting to generate pdf:

The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin NODE_PATH=npm root -g node '/var/www/html/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.cjs' '{"url":"file:///tmp/1784067815-0690470001738770043/index.html","action":"pdf","options":{"args":["--no-sandbox"],"viewport":{"width":800,"height":600},"displayHeaderFooter":false,"executablePath":"/usr/bin/chromium-browser","waitUntil":"networkidle0","env":{"CHROME_CONFIG_HOME":"/app/.config/puppeteer"}}}'" failed.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

I'm having trouble setting up puppeteer in my docker, are you willing to share your dockerfile?

Sure. See my dockerfile below:

In addition to this, you need to add puppeteer to your package.json file so that you can install it with npm install in your dockerfile
