Puppeteer on Linux Azure Web Apps

I am trying to run the Puppeteer on Linux Azure Web Apps. But log shows

/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-782078/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgobject-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think it is due to the Linux distribution on Azure. And my question: Is it a dead end or is there something I can do about it?

Looks like the default environments in App Service do not have the necessary dependencies for running headless Chromium. You can, however, run your app on App Service in a custom Docker image the dependencies installed. Here's a good starting point: https://github.com/buildkite/docker-puppeteer
