Puppeteer Error: Failed to launch the browser process!, pthread_create, ERROR:platform_thread_posix.cc(135), resource temporarily unavailable (11)

Question

I have this Puppeteer file I'm trying to run on an Ubuntu server:

var puppeteer = require('puppeteer')

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    'headless' : true,
    "executablePath": "/usr/bin/chromium-browser", 
    "args": [
        '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-gpu',
            //'--no-first-run' 
    ]
})
const page = await browser.newPage()

It works well on my computer, but when I try to run it on my server I get the below error. I've read many posts on this topic and looked into the troubleshooting file on Github, but nothing works for me.

How can I resolve this issue with running Puppeteer on an Ubuntu server? I'm using the latest version, Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

have you installed the google chromium-browser on the server? — Jawad, Jun 07 '21 at 18:34
Yes and if i try to open it without pupeteer ("chromium-browser --no-sandbox --headless") I get the same error. — Ben, Jun 09 '21 at 19:03
Ben have you done this on server, i mean installing the browser. apt-get install google-chrome-stable Because i am running it --headless and its working. — Jawad, Jun 10 '21 at 19:14
Now it kind of works but it just freezes while trying to create a page — Ben, Jun 13 '21 at 12:04
Ben do not use Answers in order to communicate on our solution, otherwise, you will be rated down. We will communicate here in the comments. Look at my code again and give it a try and look for the generated image — Jawad, Jun 15 '21 at 15:55
Have you installed google chromimum browser on ubuntu/server machine? apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable — Jawad, Jun 18 '21 at 09:31
you need 'libxss1' plus there are some dependencies you need in ubuntu: apt-get install curl google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf libxss1 — Jawad, Jun 18 '21 at 09:35
just to double-check, open this link and it explain what you need in docker/ubuntu: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-in-docker — Jawad, Jun 21 '21 at 12:09

So here I am posting a working code.

In the comments, I have mentioned that what was missing in your code and why we need it.

Make sure that you following already installed in your ubuntu machine:

apt-get install -y curl google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf libxss1

It was freezing because we have to close the browser after everything.

I have added dumpio also, it will enable the debug mode.

var puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core')

var adresse = "https://www.google.de/"

async function test() {
try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        "dumpio": true,
        "headless": true,
        "executablePath": '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
        "args": [
            '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-gpu',
        ]
    })
    console.log("Start");
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    console.log("1");
    await page.goto(adresse, { waitUntil: ['load', 'networkidle0'] }); // WAIT for the page load finish. Provide wait options, you can read moe about it in documentation.
    console.log("2");
    console.log(page);
    await page.screenshot({path: 'buddy-screenshot.png'}); // WHAT you wanted to do with the page. You can take Screenshot or generate pdf.

    await page.close(); // After job done close the page
    await browser.close(); // IMPORTANT: you have to shutdown the browser in order to proceed with the results.
        
    } catch (error) {
       console.log(error)
    }
}

await test(); // For safe side wait for it.

Okay i have edited my Question. There you can see my console output from your code. — Ben, Jun 19 '21 at 19:54
I have reinstalled my Server and all the dependencies for puppeteer. In my Question you can see the "new error" i get — Ben, Jun 20 '21 at 14:28
