RangeError: toPrecision() argument must be between 1 and 100

Hello people,

I'm currently try to setup the server with Docker.

Error Message when try the example test curl request: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"infile":{"title": {"text": "Chart"}, "xAxis": {"categories": ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar"]}, "series": [{"data": [29.9, 71.5, 106.4]}]}}' 127.0.0.1:7801:

I'm already tried different Node versions and HighChart versions but always I've got the toPrecision error but I can't find anything in this direction. I've also tried google-chrome-stable.

Has somebody an idea?

Dockerfile:

FROM node:22

ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true
ENV PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH /usr/bin/chromium
ENV HIGHCHARTS_VERSION=11

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y chromium \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

COPY ./deploy/highcharts/fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/

RUN fc-cache -fv

RUN groupadd -r pptruser && useradd -r -g pptruser pptruser \
    && mkdir -p /home/pptruser/Downloads \
    && chown -R pptruser:pptruser /home/pptruser

USER pptruser

WORKDIR /home/pptruser

RUN npm install highcharts-export-server

EXPOSE 7801

ENTRYPOINT ["node", "/home/pptruser/node_modules/highcharts-export-server/bin/cli.js", "--enableServer", "1"]

Maybe it is just coincidence but we run into the same error when we tried to run image built for linux/amd64 on arm processor.

It's good point.
I've created a new Ubuntu 24 instance and installed Docker and used the Dockerfile (installed additionally chromium-sandbox but now I got another error.
I've already tried the suggestions on the mentioned url but without any success.

[17:17:0506/213726.892519:ERROR:content/browser/zygote_host/zygote_host_impl_linux.cc:132] No usable sandbox! If this is a Debian system, please install the chromium-sandbox package to solve this problem. If you are running on Ubuntu 23.10+ or another Linux distro that has disabled unprivileged user namespaces with AppArmor, see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/security/apparmor-userns-restrictions.md. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.

Hello, I'm hitting the same issue here. Exactly same dockerfile, runs on amd64 but fails with this same error on arm64.
