How can I fix this issue? Using crawlee.

Either enabled headless mode as suggested in the warning, or adjust the docker file, I believe current versions all have the start script fixed already.

https://github.com/apify/apify-actor-docker/blob/master/node-playwright-chrome/Dockerfile#L110

Mainly the CMD ./start_xvfb_and_run_cmd.sh is important.

I use the 18-beta version, but still got the same issue :/ @B4nan

This is not about the tags, this is about how your dockerfile looks like. It needs to have that line I highlighted in the previous comment.
