Browsershot Navigation Timeout on Prod
Hey guys, currently im having a weird issue with the navigation timeout for which I didnt find any fix yet anywhere else. So I hope I find some help maybe here. For the prod machine itself im using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS together with PHP 8.3 and Apache2. The problem appears for Laravel 11.30, spatie/browsershot 4.3.0, npm 9.2.0, composer 2.8.2.
The code itself works fine for like maybe a week and then suddenly without any other error (apache2 or PHP related) just dies for no reason. If I had to guess I would say it might be a PHP related error, since I really cant think for any other reason why the code itself should work for around a week and then suddenly die. The only way to workaround this problem is a full reboot of the VM, but that also doesnt work everytime. The code for the pdf generation itself is in a dispatchable job. So when a user submits the form certain jobs are getting dispatched in the background.
I also did already check if there is a possibility to declare the default navigation timeout, but I couldnt find anything other then the timeout method itself, which sadly doesnt help for this problem.
Code in Controller:
Browsershot::html(view('pdf.' . $viewName, ['data' => $data])->render())
->noSandbox()
->userAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36')
->ignoreHttpsErrors()
->emulateMedia('print')
->waitUntilNetworkIdle()
->setOption('args', ['--disable-web-security'])
->waitForSelector('.flex')
->format('A4')
->save($filePath . '/' . $viewName . '.pdf');
Error:

Any guesses or tips are hardly appreciated. This problem is getting on my nerves for quite a while now.
