Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported - Port 80 AWS EC2

leonardoampuero

Hi,

On AWS, ubuntu, I start jsreport as a service with sudo, because I have configured it to use port 80.
I am getting that exception when trying to preview a PDF. It works ok if I change the port to 4444 and start jsreport without sudo

sudo NODE_ENV=production nohup node server.js > ./node.log 2>&1 &

Failed to launch chrome!

You can redirect port 80 -> 5488 and run without sudo.

You can also use reverse proxy like nginx.
