Hello, I am working on a DAML project and recently switched to an M1 based mac. Running a docker compose configuration with the daml sandbox and multiple other services I noticed that the daml sandbox command in the entry point of my container throws a segmentation fault. daml sandbox --dar daml-…

Couple of possibilities here. Daml SDK with VS Code integration is most likely failing as there are amd64 binaries in the SDK for IDE integration. Almost certain that Docker does not handle virtualization within a Docker images.

Try using the --platform linux/amd64 flag to docker run as suggested here Run x86 (Intel) and ARM based images on Apple Silicon (M1) Macs? - Docker Desktop for Mac - Docker Community Forums

Following @sormeter dvice, I added this env variable to make sure the platform is always linux/amd64 export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 and my docker compose has two nodes - one for canton and another for SDK. The SDK one is still throwing the segmentation fault. Here is my docker compo…

I’m a bit confused by this last message. It seems to say things work with 2.1.1, but not prior versions. Is that the case? If so, what is preventing you from using 2.1.1 (or better yet, 2.2.0)?

I’m also on Apple M1 and running into the same error (FAILED TO INSTALL!) when trying to install the SDK. Were you able to get past this error?

I’ve been struggling with the same issue and have tried all similar approaches but for some reason it keeps segfaulting. DAML runs fine natively on osx so what could be the issue here? If I use full arm stack or a full x86 stack with rosetta it should work both ways. What can we do to debug this …

Hi @daquino , This thread is starting to be a bit confusing. Would you mind opening a new thread that explains precisely what you have tried that you expected to work and how it failed instead? Please include all relevant version numbers if possible.

I think it would be better to keep this thread? It has plenty of the exact info needed. The simplest explanation is that daml segfaults when running in containers on osx but runs fine natively on osx. Examples using official containers from docker hub. 2.4.0: $ docker run --platform linux/amd64…

[image] daquino: docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it --rm -v "$PWD:/data" digitalasset/daml-sdk:2.4.0 sh -c 'cd /data && daml test' I believe part of this relates to the following: Native daml-sdk is running as a native MacOS binary. Rosetta will handle the Intel to M1 translation to allo…
