I’m glad this topic was bumped (purely by coincidence). I guess the issue has been around for a while and isn’t limited to Apple Silicon Macs.

I was having the same issue on my M1 iMac following the same guide as you. @blake was awesome and managed to find a workaround for me. :grinning:

I was able to get it working on my m1 mac. I’m not exactly sure what the issue is, but this is a work around that you can use.

From the first terminal tab run:

bin/rails server --binding 127.0.0.1

From the 2nd terminal tab. Change into this directory inside the discourse directory.

cd app/assets/javascripts/discourse

Then run this command:

ember server --proxy http://127.0.0.1:3000

Then browse to http://localhost:4200
