Issues with local install

michael · May 25, 2022, 2:32pm

I’ve been trying to install the CHT locally on an M1 MacBook Air using the CHT Local Environment Setup instructions and am getting a 404 when trying to navigate to https://localhost.

I’ve tried to follow all the debugging instructions in this post, though there was no clear resolution in that post. The outputs to everything I tried are below.

A few things I noticed:

There were a few error / failed lines right at the start of running docker-compose up related to rsyslog and ttyname
When executing docker exec -it medic-os head -n70 /srv/storage/medic-api/logs/medic-api.log, I noticed this error that seemed significant: [2022-05-25 04:27:06] 2022-05-25 04:27:06 ERROR: Fatal error initialising medic-api thought the /boot/supervisor-inspect command said it was up

Anything else I should try?

This is an awesomely detailed write up of your problem - thank you @michael!!

Unfortunately, we have not had success running the medic-os container in Docker on the Apple M1 CPUs. I believe the hope is that when we move to CHT Core 4.0.0, which will have discrete containers for each service, that we’ll be closer to working on the M1.

Until then,I believe @Elvis and @yuv both have M1s and may have some tips on running dev instaces? They can confirm, but I believe they’re both running the more involved developer set up vs your local setup.

Looking a bit at the issue, I believe the primary one is visible in your last screenshot with the note:

Images may have poor performance, or fail, if run via emulation

This is because of Docker container being from a amd64 image vs a native ARM one. There does seem to be some tricks we might be able to do support this maybe? Not having an M1 to test with myself, I can’t test any work-arounds.

Finally, as you noted noted that your call to supervisor-inspect showed that most services were up for ~1200 seconds and had zero restarts:

Up: 1216 seconds, Restarts: 0

But while the API service is up, it had been up for only 7 seconds and had dozens of restarts:

Up: 7 seconds, Restarts: 129

I don’t think it’s really up

Hi I am curious if any solution has been found. I am also getting 404 error in M1 MacBook Pro.

sookwalinga · April 27, 2023, 6:15pm

Was any solution found for this issue for version 3. I am facing the same issue on the same operating system: M1 MacBook Air

niraj · May 4, 2023, 7:45am

Hi @sookwalinga,

If you could upgrade to CHT version 4, could you please try CHT Docker Helper for CHT 4? Please note that Docker Helper for CHT 3 does not work on M1s/Apple Silicon.
cc @mrjones @Esther_Moturi @michael

Esther_Moturi · May 4, 2023, 8:33am

Hey @sookwalinga , you can also explore horti if you want to work on version 3 with M1. Here are the requirements you’d need.

babs93 · May 7, 2023, 6:41pm

Hi. Is there a solution for those who have an Apple Silicon macbook m1. I really have to install the environment on my local.

Thanks

niraj · May 9, 2023, 6:57am

Hi @babs93 ,

Welcome to the CHT Forum! It’s great to have you here.

Have you tried installing CHT in your Macbook following our documentation? Please feel free to reach out if you are getting any errors.

sookwalinga · May 18, 2023, 8:06am

Thanks @Esther_Moturi though the requirements page linked is broken, nonetheless for our version 3.x updates, we just had to work with a linux machine, all other options to get it work with M1 couldn’t yield.

sookwalinga · May 18, 2023, 8:09am

Thanks @niraj, we had some few updates we had to roll out on v3.17 which is in production, ultimately we just had to implement those with a linux OS. v4.x works fine with M1s, so we are working on the upgrade.

mrjones · May 19, 2023, 7:26pm

@sookwalinga - thanks for the call we had earlier in the week! Based on our conversation, I wanted to follow up with a possible work around for running CHT Core 3.x on M1/Apple Silicon with the Docker Helper.

I think there’s three options:

Run an Ubuntu VM on macOS. Then run CHT Core in the Ubuntu VM
Rent a cheap Ubuntu VPS like Digital Ocean or Linode for <$10/mo
Use GitHub Codespaces - see proof of concept repo for running CHT Core + CHT Conf

I think the easiest options would be #2 or #3. However, for an entirely free options, only #1 works as UMT is open source. While it took a good long while (very very long!) to set up, I was able to get CHT 3.x running on a M1 Mac Mini. Here’s the steps that I followed:

Logged into an M1 Mac Mini. I tested on 8GB RAM, 256GB Disk running macOS Montery 12.0.1
Download Ubuntu Server 22.04 install image (ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso)

01452×1172 150 KB
Install UTM for macOS
Launch UTM and choose “Create a New Virtual Machine”

11391×1141 81.9 KB
Choose “Emulate” on the next screen. This is key as it will let us run x86 VMs

2798×897 60.3 KB
Choose “Linux” on the “Operating System” screen

3775×877 45.3 KB
On the “Linux” screen, select the .iso from step 2 and click “Continue”:

4785×857 41.3 KB
On the “Hardware” page, choose 6GB RAM, 6 Cores and choose “Continue”

101090×635 65.6 KB
On “Storage” and “Shared Directory” pages, accept defaults and click “Continue”.
On the “Summary” page choose "Save
Right click on the VM you just created and choose “Edit”:

12967×671 124 KB
On the “System” tab, check “Force Multicore” and click “Save”

emulate1422×558 93.1 KB
Click the large “Play” icon in the middle of the screen.
Install Ubuntu Server accepting all defaults except when prompted for additional software, check “Docker”.
After the server is installed, rebooted and up and running, login in using the UMT terminal window and switch to the root user and git clone CHT core
Run the CHT Docker Helper for 3.x.
---- Note The first run may take a very long time - 10s of minutes and possibly longer. Be patient! ----
If needed, install the local-ip.co certificate with the the add-local-ip-certs-to-docker.sh script - I found an issue with these not installing that I hope to fix soon!

kawerewagaba · May 28, 2023, 7:27am

Great insights from this @mrjones. Thanks a lot. Already tried out the template by @jkuester and it is awesome . Let me try out option #1.

@sookwalinga mentioned that 4.x works fine with M1s - would think that would be the same case with M2 but can’t seem to have it working on M2. I opened an issue here requesting for multi-platform support (to include native support on apple silicon as well).

Could I be missing something with 4.x on my end?

kawerewagaba · May 29, 2023, 8:00am

Update: using the CHT Docker Helper for 4.x works! Only that the provided endpoint https://192-168-1-173.local-ip.medicmobile.org:10443 fails due to possibly a DNS issue. Had to run it with localhost on the same port: https://localhost:10443.

mrjones · June 1, 2023, 4:57am

@kawerewagaba - We recently found a DNS related bug and fixed it. Can you try the https://192-168-1-173.local-ip.medicmobile.org:10443 URL again to see if it works now?
