Why do we need xvfb, I'm trying to install headless chrome in ubuntu docker image. First time I tried it was complaining xvfb is not found. Is it mandatory to run headless chrome?

Hi, I suggest trying https://github.com/browserless/chrome for Docker based thing, the gist is very old, not enough to meet your requirements, maybe.
