Solace-pubsub-standard is not starting on mac with m1 chip

Hello,

I have pulled the solace-pubsub-standard image, but the container is failing to start on my machine. Is there a way to run the image on mac m1?

@satya , AFAIK, Solace doesn’t have a broker build that runs on ARM processors (that M1 chip is based off) yet.

@nram, Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea if there is a plan of releasing a version that runs on ARM processors?

Hi @satya,

We don’t have a date right now, but it’s safe to say it won’t be in calendar year 2021. For devs having this issue the easiest way forward would likely be to stand up a messaging service in Solace Cloud (there is a free trial), or if in an offline environment host the broker on another machine using the docker container or a VM image.

Hi @satya,

It looks like there might be a work around. I don’t have a mac with a M1 chip, but any chance I can get you to try this out and see if it works for you? It sounds like it will either work or fail spectacularly.

Thanks!

Any news on this one? Currently it is not possible for us to test stuff on our macs since there is no Docker image supporting M1.

@marc that does not work. Afaik the image must be built with ARM compatibility set.

@marc.dipasquale any updates about this?

Hi @sgamil ,
It’s made it’s way into the backlog and it’s definitely something we want to do, but I don’t have a scheduled release date at this time.
If you have access to paid support it won’t hurt to open a ticket requesting the functionality :wink:
