General error on live environment Laravel

[ruben-bolink]

When running this local, it works perfect (converting tailwind css to pdf). On live environment (Linux, OS Debian buster 10) it gives an error.

I tried adjusting the NPM (which npm = /usr/bin/npm) and node (which node = /usr/bin/node) paths. This gives the same error.

Code:
return pdf()->view('quote_pdf', ['quoteData' => $quoteData, 'productRows' => $productRows, 'billingAddress' => $currentBillingAddress, 'endDate' => $endDate, 'vat' => $vat]) ->withBrowsershot(function (Browsershot $browsershot) { $browsershot->newHeadless()->setIncludePath('$PATH:/usr/bin'); }) ->name('#'.$quote->id.' - '.$quote->customer->company_name.' - '.$quote->customer->last_name);

Error:
The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin NODE_PATH=npm root -g` node '/data/web/apps/quotes.maxiaxi.com/releases/87/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.cjs' '{"url":"file:///tmp/1932751629-0168181001709298436/index.html","action":"pdf","options":{"args":[],"viewport":{"width":800,"height":600},"displayHeaderFooter":false,"newHeadless":true,"printBackground":true}}'" failed.

Exit Code: 1(General error)

Does anyone know a solution for this? thank you in advance

I have the same error on live server

Facing a similar issue here.
Environment: Distributor ID: Ubuntu ,Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, Release: 20.04, Codename: focal
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-176-generic x86_64

I have puppeteer installed and the ~/.cache/puppeteer exists. I used ldd chrome | grep not to find and install the missing packages, however I still get the general error Error: Could not find Chrome (ver. 123.0.6312.105).
I then tried solution 1 npx puppeteer browsers install chrome which installed the exact version the error reported was missing

chrome@123.0.6312.105 /home/xxxx/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/linux-123.0.6312.105/chrome-linux64/chrome

This still resulted in the same error. I then tried solution 2 your cache path is incorrectly configured (which is: /var/www/.cache/puppeteer) which obviously differs from the installation path which is at $HOME/.cache/puppeteer
So I used the suggested code snippet to set the puppeteer cache dir, and then ran npx puppeteer browsers install chrome becuse the dir did not yet exist. This created the cache dir with the required version of chrome installed.

This time the error changed to :
Error: Failed to launch the browser process! chrome_crashpad_handler: --database is required Try 'chrome_crashpad_handler --help' for more information.

I tried ldd again an no packages were reported as missing, the cache dir has been set correctly and I am none the wiser how to solve this. Anybody else mayby having the sam issue or have been able to fix it? Is this a permission or a configuration/installation issue?

Installing Puppeteer globally gave a completely different bag of issues!!!
