Hi, Im trying to self-host using MacOS arm64, but am not able to connect to the GrowthBook API (see image). Could someone please provide me with some guidance? Thank you in advance.

Are you using docker? Can you share the docker compose config file if you have made any local changes? What do you get when you hit GB api http://localhost:3100 directly? I'm also new to growthbook, but if you don't mind I can take a look.

Also check container logs for any errors

Hi, thanks for your reply. This is the docker compose config file I am using, I added `platform: "linux/amd64"`:

When I hit the api directly, I get a "Load failed" error:

Also, do you know where we can find the logs? And http://localhost:3100/ on start up is there, but becomes unresponsive.

a contributor ran into a similar problem. can you set the following environment variable:

Copy code

DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 docker-compose up -d

this is the PR they provided for us to update the docs: https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/pull/1194 did you want to test their suggestions to see if it works and let us know?

adding

DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM

should help as suggested above. for logs, I check the container logs using

docker container logs -f <container_name>

container name could be something like

growthbook_growthbook_1

connecting directly to the api (port 3100) should give you a small json object

if this is not working, its often from not setting the JWT_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY when setting to production mode

Thanks for the help. Got it to work after adding

DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM

and using an earlier version of MongoDB 5.0+ as "MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!"

Glad to hear that @some-umbrella-45927 may I suggest you to update the docker compose file to contain platform directive at 2 places as suggested on the PR, this way related configs stay in one place.

@blue-hamburger-60411 This is the docker compose file that got it to run; however, having memory issues leading to "load failed" error.

Copy code

version: "3"
services:
  mongo:
    image: "mongo:4.4.6"
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
  growthbook:
    image: "growthbook/growthbook:latest"
    platform: "linux/amd64"
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
      - "3100:3100"
    depends_on:
      - mongo
    environment:
      - MONGODB_URI=<mongodb://root:password@mongo:27017/>
