Using Browsershot on a server

[DevelopmentNightmare]

I'm trying to use Browsershot on a live server and whenever I try to do something with it, I get the following error:

The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin NODE_PATH=npm root -g node '/home/ploi/<DOMAIN_NAME>/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.js' '{"url":"file:///tmp/387480045-0723827001660554323/index.html","action":"pdf","options":{"args":["--no-sandbox"],"viewport":{"width":800,"height":600},"displayHeaderFooter":false,"waitUntil":"networkidle0","ignoreHttpsErrors":true,"margin":{"top":"10mm","right":"10mm","bottom":"10mm","left":"10mm"},"printBackground":true}}'" failed.

Seems to me the issue is libnss3.so, but how and where do I fix it?

I ran a NPM install and my PHP code is:

        $base64 = Browsershot::html($html)
            ->showBackground()
            ->waitUntilNetworkIdle()
            ->ignoreHttpsErrors()
            ->margins($margins, $margins, $margins, $margins)
            ->noSandbox()
            ->base64pdf();

It does work on local.

Well you are missing libnss3 as the error message stated, try installing it?

apt-get install libnss3

maybe try

apt-get install libnspr4 libnss3 libnss3-nssdb libnss3-tools

Sidenote: that's more of a puppeteer or chrome problem ;)

This seems to fix it:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgbm1 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 libgbm-dev libxshmfence-dev

Afaik this are all google-chrome dependencies. So downloading and installing chrome manually should also work

@mutschler I am facing the same issue on the windows system can you have any solution to solve it?

i deploy it at shared hosting, so i not have permission to install those dependencies. What i can do?
