Created in 2018 - quite old now and not maintained.
I wouldn't suggest using it. I'm sure there are better solutions today.
In this repository there are two versions available. One with Google Chrome another with Chromium. For more information see releases
I had to have Google Chrome because footerTemplate and headerTemplate options of command page.pdf(options) didn't worked in chromium. see page.pdf(options) doc page
git clone this repository and go to main directory

make build

I've build this "on top" of docker not "in" docker which mean that I have instance of node server an this server creates on demand container with puppeteer to generate one pdf and kill this container because there is chance that this approach will make entire solution more stable. And this server was ment to build as fast as possible to do its job. Main priority was to build it fast and make it work and it's seems to work so far.
