So I have this Node.js application which uses Puppeteer (alternative for eg, Selenium) which is a browser bot/web driver. For my specific use-case, I need to run Chrome headful, but I just cannot get it to work.

I have barely any Linux knowledge. I do have decent terminal knowledge because I’m on MacOS, but that’s how far it goes.

The reason I want headless Ubuntu Server is to save RAM, because I really don’t need a GUI for anything. Is it even possible to do what I’m trying to achieve?

So far I’ve tried using `Xvfb` but Chrome just gives me a bunch of errors:

root@x:~# Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[1] 3204
root@x:~# DISPLAY=:99.0 chromium --no-sandbox

I have no clue about what’s going on or how to even get started to fix any of these ????

Hoping someone could help me out here, would be greatly appreciated!
