Run and install X server to make puppeteer works - node.js

Question

on my linux server I running my nodejs project which should crawl single page app by puppeteer npm module.
Here is an example of the code I use:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
try {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://bvopen.abrickis.me/#/standings');
await page.waitForSelector('.category', { timeout: 1000 });
const body = await page.evaluate(() => {
return document.querySelector('body').innerHTML;
});
console.log(body);
await browser.close();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
})();
But I've got the next error:
0|www | Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
0|www | [5642:5642:0511/154701.856738:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1485)] Unable to open X display.

I searched a lot how to install X server and tried a lot of things like sudo apt-get install xorg openbox but it doesn't helps.

Looks like puppeteer wants to start the browser in a non-headless mode but as you don't have xorg installed it failed. But I would say that's not what you want when it's running on a server anyways. So there is no need to install xorg or anything.
Maybe try to launch the puppeteer browser with following options:
await puppeteer.launch({
headless: true,
args: [
"--disable-gpu",
"--disable-dev-shm-usage",
"--no-sandbox",
"--disable-setuid-sandbox"
]
});
