Description

Summary

if you are using MAC M1 you will not be able to run bitnami/mongodb image locally, since bitnami/mongodb has no ARM64 support yet. https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/16247

The solution I use is to change mongodb image to mongo:latest before running docker-compose file and then revert it back before making any commit.

I wonder if there's more elegant solution for mac users.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the docker-compose configuration that selects the bitnami/mongodb image and verify the ARM64 behavior on a Mac M1. Compare the reported mongo:latest workaround with the project’s current setup; done means ARM64 users can run the compose configuration without manually changing and reverting the image.
