Error Running Docker Container on Apple Silicon

[kevin-pek]

Wave SDK Version, OS

Wave SDK Version: h2o-wave==1.1.1
OS: macOS (Apple Silicon, M1)
Docker Version: 24.0.2

Actual behavior

When trying to run a wave app using docker on my M1 Macbook, the container fails to start and this error is shown:

Could not connect to Wave server. Please start the Wave server (waved or waved.exe) prior to running any app.

Expected behavior

The container should start with no errors. The same dockerfile works as expected on windows, and also works on my mac when the build target platform is set to linux/amd64.

Steps To Reproduce

To quickly reproduce this issue, you can build and run the following image based on the wave init hello_world example on mac.

FROM python:3.10-slim

COPY . .

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

CMD ["wave", "run", "app"]

The error described should be displayed when trying to start a container.

Hi @kevin-pek, can you please provide a full docker build log? My gut feeling is that pip didn't pick the right wheel file.

[kevin-pek]

Sure! Here is the full build log:

Thanks!

The problem is pip downloads platform agnostic wheel for Wave (and others) as it seems like it cannot detect the platform properly:

...
#8 1.445   Downloading h2o_wave-1.1.2-py3-none-any.whl (143 kB)
...

The solution is to either specify a docker platform (should work) or find another way to tell pip which platform it should download for or take it as is and download&run waved (wave server) manually.

[kevin-pek]

Thanks! I was also wondering if there is a page on the wave documentation that mentions that documents this? Or an example for how we can prepare a Dockerfile to download and run waved manually?

[mturoci]

Unfortunately, there is not since that is outside of scope for Wave (it's about Docker/pip).
