Where do I specify --platform linux/arm64 in the ./launcher rebuild app sequence? I need to test Discourse/Docker locally on M1. Would be great to set this until such point as ARM build is fully implemented. best regards, Walker

Discourse doesn’t work on arm64 at the moment, so there is no switch in launcher for it. We are actively working on it, and we have quite a few members of our team running it on M1 already, but it still requires a branch of libv8, which is a transitive dependency coming from miniracer.

Thanks Rafael. You all rock. best, Walker

How’s it looking in dev performance wise?

Incredible performance for single core Rails work, like Topic Create or Topic view. Still a lot slower than any recent x86_64 offering in multicore or anything that touches disk IO.

[image] Falco: Still a lot slower than any recent x86_64 offering in multicore or anything that touches disk IO. I see. Thanks for this info. I think the software support for M1 will take some time to get right but future is looking bright. It sounds notorious but it makes me a little happy that my recently bought device isn’t obsolete all of a sudden. :wink:

[image] sam: You could try the docker args param launcher has, it may work If that doesn’t work, you can use the DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM environment variable. I currently have: export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 in my zsh profile. When using Docker I pretty much always want the architecture to match production systems. [image] fzngagan: How’s it looking in dev performance wise? Compared to previous generation MacBooks it’s a big improvement, even though the filesystem performance issues still exist. A high-end linux desktop is still going to beat it though. For example, I can run bin/turbo_rspec on core in about 2m50s (M1 Macbook pro, with Discourse, Redis & Postgres running natively). Team members on high-end linux desktops can do that in about 1 minute.

[image] Falco: We are actively working on it whats the roadmap for this to be enabled as stable?

We need a new mini racer / v8 gem to be released, no eta yet, we are testing alpha versions at the moment

@sam and how are tests going? Im highly interested in M1-compatible version. [image] david: 2m50s Its not that bad timing… there are people (developers) out there who dont even come close to this…
