Apple M1 - Getting an "Unknown Error"

[theaor]

M1 Mac Mini running OSX 11.5.2, latest version of Matchering, and Docker 4.15.0. Getting an "Unknown Error" after Matchering performs its analysis steps. This was working at one point, but for some reason now I can't get any set of files to complete. Works perfectly on my other Mac, which is a Macbook Pro Retina 2016, running OSX 10.14 (same version of Matchering and Docker). Are there any troubleshooting steps I should attempt? Thank you!

Hey, @theaor.
Thank you for reporting this issue.
It looks like one of the dependencies is not supported on Apple Silicon, or something like that..
I'm unlikely to be able to figure this out, since I don't own an M1 device.

What can I recommend:

A) Try to find more specific error, please run this command in the Terminal:

• docker logs mgw-app

Probably more specific reasons for the error will be indicated there

B) Please make sure that more than 4 GB of memory is available to the Docker
https://github.com/sergree/matchering/blob/master/DOCKER_MACOS.md

C) Try to increase RAM even more (maybe on M1 numpy/scipy algorithms are not so optimized and more memory is needed, just a guess..)

D) Try to downgrade to matchering-web 0.1.6
Run these Terminal commands in a row:

• docker stop mgw-app
• docker rm mgw-app
• docker volume rm mgw-data
• docker pull sergree/matchering-web:0.1.6
• docker run -dp 8360:8360 -v mgw-data:/app/data --name mgw-app --restart always sergree/matchering-web

Try again at http://127.0.0.1:8360

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I decided to completely remove the container, image, etc. Re-installed docker and Matchering and tried again and it worked once, but then stopped after when attempted a second time. I've attached the logs, but still looking through them myself. Going to run through your other recommended steps as well. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the logs, yep, the reason for the error is not clear from them.

It is very strange that one session is successful.

I have an opinion that this may be related to the Docker problem itself.
Something like this
docker/for-mac#6219

To the previous items, I can add this

E) Try to run Matchering without "Docker Volume"
Run these Terminal commands in a row:

• docker stop mgw-app
• docker rm mgw-app
• docker volume rm mgw-data
• docker run -dp 8360:8360 --name mgw-app --restart always sergree/matchering-web

F) Check: Docker Settings -> Resources -> Advanced -> Disk Image Size
It should be more than 10 GB+
