    It's listed in /app/code/node_modules (both playwright and playwright-core) but I can't find out how to use a Playwright node. Can anyone help?

      Hello @odie
      The best way to install community nodes for N8N is with the UI.
      In your case you want to install https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-playwright I assume
      In your N8N UI go to Settings > Community nodes click Install a community node and paste n8n-nodes-playwright and it will install the community node.

      But while testing this I noticed that the Cloudron N8N app does not have chromium installed, so the playwright nodes can't be used at the moment.

      So we might have to add chromium to the N8N app.

        @james Thank you @james! I was under the (wrong) impression that it was already installed (due to it being listed in /app/code/node_modules, thank you so much for clarifying.

        Having chromium (for eg. playwright) would probably be a good thing. I can imagine several use cases where a headless web browser could be useful.
