Documentation about puppeteer in Docker only works on x86_64

[mvanaltvorst]

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: none
• Platform / OS version: yes.
• URLs (if applicable): https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-in-docker
• Node.js version: all of them

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Visit https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-in-docker, notice the following line:

RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - \
    && sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y google-chrome-unstable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst ttf-freefont \
      --no-install-recommends \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

in particular, notice this:

sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'

This does not work on ARM ([arch=amd64]), though this is mentioned nowhere in the documentation.

What is the expected result?
The documentation makes clear that this only works on x86_64, or, even better, the documentation gives instructions for puppeteer in docker on ARM.

What happens instead?
The documentation is incomplete.

ARMv6 will have to be excluded since Chromium won't compile on there, though I think supporting ARMv7 shouldn't be any problem.

[FezVrasta]

What's the situation now that Apple switched to ARM? Any chance we'll be able to run Puppeteer on a Docker container on Apple Silicon?

[davidbielik]

@FezVrasta were you ever able to get puppeteer running in Docker on Apple Silicon M1?

I can't and waiting to see if #7546 is related

[ReDrUm]

I would expect something like deb [arch=$TARGETARCH] although it's legitimately not available for that arch
