Support for macOS M1 (Apple Silicon) – Compatibility and Future Plans? #465

First, thank you for maintaining this project – it's a very helpful setup for testing observability stacks locally.

I'm currently trying to run the stack on a MacBook with an M1 (Apple Silicon) chip, and I'm running into compatibility issues.

  • First I got an error: Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v2
  • When tried with --platform=linux/arm64, I ended up seeing the below error
    exec /otel-lgtm/run-all.sh: exec format error

It seems that some of the container images in the stack may not support ARM architecture natively, which causes failures.

My Questions:
Is there a known way to run docker-otel-lgtm successfully on macOS with M1 chips?

Are there any plans to add official support for ARM-based systems like Apple Silicon in the near future?

Would contributions to improve ARM support be welcomed, and if so, are there specific areas in the stack where help is needed?

Thanks again.
