My Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.8

# Install necessary dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \

# Install Playwright and other dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
RUN playwright install --with-deps

# Utwórz użytkownika i ustaw katalog roboczy
RUN useradd -m -u 1000 user
USER user
WORKDIR /code

# Skopiuj plik requirements.txt i zainstaluj zależności Pythona
COPY --chown=user:user requirements.txt /code/requirements.txt
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r /code/requirements.txt

# Skopiuj resztę aplikacji
COPY --chown=user:user . /code

# Ustawienie punktu wejścia dla aplikacji
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

I try also this in code:

# Initialize Playwright
os.system("playwright install")

import subprocess

def install_playwright_and_deps():
    try:
        # Instalacja Playwright
        subprocess.check_call(["pip", "install", "playwright"])
        # Instalacja przeglądarek Playwright
        subprocess.check_call(["apt-get", "playwright", "install-deps"])
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"Error installing Playwright or dependencies: {e}")

install_playwright_and_deps()

Nothing help only I get a message about:

I fix it with and run headless = True (very important)

# Install Python dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install Playwright and download the required browsers
RUN playwright install --with-deps

# Create and switch to a non-root user
RUN useradd -m -u 1000 user
USER user
ENV PATH="/home/user/.local/bin:$PATH"

# Ensure Playwright browsers are installed for the non-root user
RUN playwright install

Sorry I don’t know much about Docker since I use Gradio all the time, but you can use packages.txt and pre-requirements.txt in addition to requiements.txt in HF’s Spaces.
Can’t you do something about this?

As a last resort, some people call subprocess in the py file to launch the installer.

Thanks for your answer! Fortunately I was able to fix it as I wrote above mainly I think because of this:

# Create and switch to a non-root user
RUN useradd -m -u 1000 user
USER user
ENV PATH="/home/user/.local/bin:$PATH"

# Ensure Playwright browsers are installed for the non-root user
RUN playwright install
