Install google-chrome-stable with docker

Question

I get an error when I do docker-compose build.

I am using apple siilcon and I was able to build it with intel without any problems. Does anyone know if something is wrong?

Answer 1

You can add the platform flag to the FROM statement in your Dockerfile. This will ensure the docker container builds the correct architecture every time.

I used this for Debian Linux and Chrome headless:

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 python:3.9
