I\'ve been struggling to run multiple instances of Puppeteer on DigitalOcean for quite some time with little luck. I\'m able to run ~5 concurrently using tools like puppetee
Most probably you're running out of memory, 5 puppeteer processes are a lot for a 1GB VM.
You can run
grep -i 'killed process' /var/log/messages
to confirm that the OOM killer terminated your processes.
