Start Dawarich on Orange Pi 5

[Mikael-Ar]

Hello,

I am trying to install Dawarich on an Orange Pi 5 using Docker, but I get an error when starting the containers with docker compose.

The command I run:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up

The error message:

`
[+] up 0/3
⠧ Image freikin/dawarich:latest Pulling
⠧ Image postgis/postgis:17-3.5-alpine Pulling
⠧ Image redis:7.4-alpine Pulling

no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries
`

My Orange Pi 5 is running on ARM64 (linux/arm64/v8).

From what I understand, this error means that one (or more) of the Docker images does not have an ARM64 build available.

I would like to know:

Is anyone successfully running Dawarich on an ARM64 device such as an Orange Pi ?
Is ARM64 support planned for the official Docker images?
Would it be possible to add ARM64 builds to the Docker image pipeline?

I am happy to help test an ARM64 image if needed.

Thank you for your help and for this great project!

The unsupported image in that Compose file is the PostgreSQL/PostGIS one, not Redis. The current manifests are:

• freikin/dawarich:latest: includes linux/arm64
• redis:7.4-alpine: includes linux/arm64/v8
• postgis/postgis:17-3.5-alpine: only publishes a Linux amd64 image

Dawarich's current official Compose file already documents the ARM replacement immediately below that image:

dawarich_db:
  # image: postgis/postgis:17-3.5-alpine
  image: imresamu/postgis:17-3.5-alpine

imresamu/postgis:17-3.5-alpine publishes both amd64 and arm64, while keeping the same PostgreSQL 17 / PostGIS 3.5 versions expected by this Compose setup.

After changing the one line:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f dawarich_db dawarich_app

Do not add platform: linux/amd64 on the Orange Pi unless you deliberately want slow emulation; a native ARM64 database image is available.

If this is an existing instance rather than a new installation, back up the database/volume first and keep the PostgreSQL major version unchanged. Switching container images does not itself migrate PostgreSQL data, and downgrading/changing the major version would be unsafe.

ARM support for the Dawarich application image is already implemented by its build workflow (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, and linux/arm/v7) and is noted in the 1.2.0 changelog. So no new Dawarich application build is required; only the PostGIS image line needs the ARM alternative.

If this gets the stack running on the Orange Pi, please mark it as the accepted answer so other ARM users can find the exact Compose change.

yes it work with the modification thank
