Unable to run Chrome on Amazon Linux

I have a python script that launches a headless webdriver. The exact same code works with no issues on CentOS7. I'm trying to run it on an Amazon Linux

google-chrome --version output is Google Chrome 83.0.4103.61

chromedriver --version output is ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39

Here's the function

def LoadWebDrivers():
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
    options.add_argument('--ignore-ssl-errors')
    options.add_argument('--headless')
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    options.add_argument('--start-maximized')
    options.add_argument('--window-size=800,600')
    options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
    options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=443')

    global WebDriver
    WebDriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driverPath,options=options)
    WebDriver.get('site')
    return WebDriver

If I run chrome directly from the CLI, I get this (there are also a bunch of Fontconfig warnings which I read can be ignored)

[3779:3779:0520/015819.096591:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1473)] Unable to open X display.
[0520/015819.108227:ERROR:nacl_helper_linux.cc(308)] NaCl helper process running without a sandbox!
Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly
Segmentation fault

The script fails with this

  File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 76, in __init__
    RemoteWebDriver.__init__(
  File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 157, in __init__
    self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile)
  File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 252, in start_session
    response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
  File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 321, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable

After enabling logging, here's what the log file spit out (multiple entries of the devtools error)

[0520/021834.142267:ERROR:socket_posix.cc(148)] bind() failed: Permission denied (13)

After looking at the logs error404 asked me to add and seeing 

[0520/021834.142267:ERROR:socket_posix.cc(148)] bind() failed: Permission denied (13)
[0520/021834.143153:ERROR:socket_posix.cc(148)] bind() failed: Permission denied (13)
[0520/021834.143191:ERROR:devtools_http_handler.cc(298)] Cannot start http server for devtools.

I ran the script as sudo and it successfully loads now.

Try with below settings in additional to the above. Also add some logging at verbose level.

chromedriver_path = "<chromedriver_binary_path>"
outputdir = "<log_dir_path>"
service_log_path = "{}/chromedriver.log".format(outputdir)
service_args = ['--verbose']
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path, service_log_path=service_log_path, service_args=service_args, options=chrome_options)
driver.get(url)
