The situation:
Two computers, two different processor architectures with Docker Desktop running a docker compose setup which I use to develop a CakePHP application on both machines.
- Windows 11 Pro Workstation which reports
x86_64whenarchis run from WSL and Docker Linux containers - Apple Macbook Pro M1 which reports
arm64from a terminal oraarch64inside a Linux Docker container whenarchis run
Problem:
When running Puppeteer inside a Linux aarch64 container on an Apple Silicon Macbook M1 the chromium version specified in package.json not available in the aarch64 architecture.
For the x86_64 I use the version of chromium that gets pulled down when using npm i which is then placed under the project root e.g.:
/var/www/project1/puppeteer/chrome/linux-127.0.6533.88/chrome-linux64/chrome
However on my Macbook M1 (Apple Silicon) there is no arm64 version of Google Chrome or chromium available for download by npm
Mac Apple Silicon work-a-round
So the work-a-round is to install chromium using the containers package manager apt-get install chromium and then tell puppeteer where to find it by setting PUPPETEER_EXECUTEABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium in the Arm64 Linux Container running on the Macbook M1
So to do that you can create an env file in the same folder as the docker-compose.yaml file on the Macbook M1 you don't need to create an env on the Windows WSL environment
1 2 | # ./php.env on Apple SiliconPUPPETEER_EXECUTEABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium |
Once you have your php.env file (or whatever arbitrary name you give it) you can specify that it is not mandatory by setting required: false. Any env vars you set in the php.env file will appear in the docker container when running on Mac and if it doesn't exist (in your Windows WSL environment) it will silently skip pulling it in.
