Failing to launch on Ubuntu 18.04 Droplet #63

Closed dave-hawkins closed 4 years ago

I apologise if this question shouldn't be asked here. If anyone could spare me a bit of time debugging this so i can set it up for my grandparents i would greatly appreciate it.

I'm trying to run the tool on a DO Droplet and coming across this error every time i hit yarn start

Error: Failed to launch chrome! [0501/153807.426413:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

It seems that i should be trying to enable --no-sandbox somewhere when puppeteer is launched but i'm unsure of where exactly.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Try installing it all inside a user account, rather than running as root, e.g.

useradd deliverybot
su deliverybot

Then follow the install instructions.

Yup that works, thank you paul!
