Puppeteer Error: Failed to launch the browser process!, pthread_create, ERROR:platform_thread_posix.cc(135), resource temporarily unavailable (11)

Question

I have this Puppeteer file I'm trying to run on an Ubuntu server:

var puppeteer = require('puppeteer')

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    'headless' : true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/chromium-browser", 
    "args": [
        '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-gpu',
            //'--no-first-run' 
    ]
})
const page = await browser.newPage()

It works well on my computer, but when I try to run it on my server I get the below error. I've read many posts on this topic and looked into the troubleshooting file on Github, but nothing works for me.

How can I resolve this issue with running Puppeteer on an Ubuntu server? I'm using the latest version, Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

Answer 1

So here I am posting a working code.

In the comments, I have mentioned that what was missing in your code and why we need it.

Make sure that you following already installed in your ubuntu machine:

apt-get install -y curl google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf libxss1

It was freezing because we have to close the browser after everything.

I have added dumpio also, it will enable the debug mode.

var puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core')

var adresse = "https://www.google.de/"

async function test() {
try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        "dumpio": true,
        "headless": true,
        "executablePath": '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
        "args": [
            '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-gpu',
        ]
    })
    console.log("Start");
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    console.log("1");
    await page.goto(adresse, { waitUntil: ['load', 'networkidle0'] }); // WAIT for the page load finish. Provide wait options, you can read moe about it in documentation.
    console.log("2");
    console.log(page);
    await page.screenshot({path: 'buddy-screenshot.png'}); // WHAT you wanted to do with the page. You can take Screenshot or generate pdf.

    await page.close(); // After job done close the page
    await browser.close(); // IMPORTANT: you have to shutdown the browser in order to proceed with the results.
        
    } catch (error) {
       console.log(error)
    }
}

await test(); // For safe side wait for it.
