Is it possible somehow to run working discourse on Docker in MacOS system? I have some issues with that, obtaining errors, such as:

Ensuring launcher is up to date
Fetching origin
Launcher is up-to-date
cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin
/usr/local/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: Mounts denied: er.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/#namespaces for more info.
.
r/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log
are not shared from OS X and are not known to Docker.
You can configure shared paths from Docker -> Preferences... -> File Sharing.
See https://docs.dock.
ERRO[0000] error getting events from daemon: net/http: request canceled

It happens on ./launcher rebuild app command. Do you know what can I do to run docker container with app fully functional? Please help :slight_smile:

it seems that nobody cares about devs and ops which are using mac as their primary desktop system…

I dont use docker on my dev machine on mac. I did directly setup various components using homebrew for easier version selection and postgress.app and mailcatcher. I also use puma-dev (which you can use with unicorn) to have discourse.tld support locally.

I have a few alias to start, stop, reset, swap dbs… but that’s all. Docker is overkill and will slow you down IMO.

I am a MacOs user and I had zero problems starting Discourse dev instance on my machine using Docker For Mac. I’ve cloned main repo and followed this guide:

I tried to run Discourse locally on my Mac.
But not with any luck …
(I have “masked” the data I actually used to test.com++)

myserver:discourse root# ./discourse-setup
./discourse-setup: line 93: free: command not found
./discourse-setup: line 116: [: : integer expression expected
./discourse-setup: line 125: [: : integer expression expected

Ports 80 and 443 are free for use
samples/standalone.yml -> containers/app.yml
./discourse-setup: line 93: free: command not found
Found GB of memory and 8 physical CPU cores
./discourse-setup: line 197: [: : integer expression expected
./discourse-setup: line 201: [: : integer expression expected
./discourse-setup: line 205: 256 * : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")

Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: testforum.test.com
Email address for admin account(s)? [me@example.com,you@example.com]: admin@test.com
SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: send.test.com
SMTP port? [587]: 465
SMTP user name? [user@example.com]: admin@test.com
SMTP password? [pa$$word]: PasswordInClearText
Optional email address for setting up Let's Encrypt? (ENTER to skip) [me@example.com]:

Does this look right?

Hostname : testforum.test.com
Email : admin@test.com
SMTP address : send.test.com
SMTP port : 465
SMTP username : admin@test.com
SMTP password : PasswordInClearText

ENTER to continue, 'n' to try again, Ctrl+C to exit:

DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME change failed.
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD change failed.

Unfortunately, there was an error changing

-d This may happen if you have made unexpected changes.
myserver:discourse root#

I tried looking into lines 93,116 and 125 in and tried to execute the line mentioned:
37
and that failed with “-bash: free: command not found” - just as the error message says.

Has anyone got the docker image up and running on a Mac?
