running 6.3 locally

[bwbohl]

I pulled docker pull ghcr.io/peterstadler/existdb:6.3 and tried to run it locally on my apple silicon with:

docker run --rm -it --name exist ghcr.io/peterstadler/existdb:6.3

Unfortunately it failed with:

Any idea what’s going wrong?

BTW this does not happen when appending local folders to /opt/exist/data and /opt/exist/logs, e.g.:

docker run --rm -it --name exist \
    -v `pwd`/data:/opt/exist/data \
     -v `pwd`/logs:/opt/exist/logs \
    ghcr.io/peterstadler/existdb:6.3

I just checked on my machine (MacOS, ARM processor) and it did work (i.e. I could not reproduce the error). Yet I think I remember such an issue as well somehow …

It might be connected with the Docker environment, there's a lot Q&A regarding this topic, see e.g. https://ayeshalshukri.co.uk/category/guides/docker-error-no-space-left-on-device/
