Error is missing photos sometimes

RUN echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules

RUN set -x \
    && apk update \
    && apk upgrade \
RUN apk add -f

ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true
ENV CHROMIUM_PATH /usr/bin/chromium-browser

# Installs latest Chromium package.

RUN yarn add puppeteer@2.0.0 adal-node@0.2.0 azure-keyvault@3.0.4 azure-sb@0.11.1 azure-storage@2.10.3 http@0.0.0

COPY package*.json ./

EXPOSE 3000

CMD [ "npm", "start"]

Below is my puppeteer.js:

browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser', // if without using chromium package: executablePath: process.env.CHROMIUM_PATH,
    args: ['--no-sandbox', '--enable-font-antialiasing', '--font-render-hinting=medium'],
    timeout: LOAD_TIMEOUT,
    headless: true
});

Just make the headless value to false

browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: true
});
