If you haven’t heard of Puppeteer, it’s basically a NodeJS library that allows you to run (and control) an instance of headless chrome. i.e - an instance of Google chrome without a UI. In this project, I was using it to render PDF exports of reports. Running natively, it worked like a charm. But under docker, well…I’m writing this article after all, aren’t I?
