monocle ARM compatible image

Users relying on new Mac books are unable to run the Monocle compose. Indeed the Monocle container image is only compatible with x86_64 / amd64 architecture.

This issue is the place to discuss solutions such as:

Produce an ARM compatible image
Document a workaround

It seems that a workaround solution could be to set export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 to add a layer of emulation for Docker.

this didn't work for me

Unfortunately I don't have such platform to test it. Perhaps you could share the error you get ?

The other solution might be the full virtualization where you could start a compatible system then start Monocle.

No specific logs on the errors.

Message I get during the launch:

Same issue here so a +1 from me.

I'm going to try and work on alternatives, maybe just host in AWS as the product looks like what I need.

same results and no logs to speak of.

I succeeded to make it work by

adding more RAM (from 8 to 16gb to docker). The error with code 137 seems to not be present anymore (137 was a OOM error).
adding ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled: false to elastic/environment entry in the docker-compose file.

@charlesdg can you post your setup in PR or something?

Found a solution by running Docker Desktop with Rosetta enabled (had the first idea from ChatGPT). It's under Beta features in the latest docker desktop version as of today, but it seems to work.
