Struggling to install firefly3 on Raspberry Pi 4

Hi All, I'm hoping people who've installed firefly3 with docker can
help me with this - my three docker containers (firefly_iii_core,
firefly_iii_db and firefly_iii_cron) keep exiting with an error code
159.

Before this, I had to manually specify platform linux/arm64 for each
service in my docker-compose.yml before docker compose,  without which
I kept getting an error "The requested image's platform does not match
the detected host platform"

Thank you in advance!

Do the images you're trying to use support arm64?

Apparently they do

Can you run the following command and give me the output

uname -a

Using platform linux/arm/v8 worked. Then I discovered tonight that
there was an issue was with database connectivity. I could not get it
to work with mariadb that was specified in the docker-compose.yml from
the firefly GitHub repo.

It finally worked when I was able to use a postgres DB that was
already running in another container.


Frustrating as it has been to set up firefly, I'm glad I learned
something from this! (Trying to install Actual Budget using docker was
a breeze, following their documentation)
The firefly cron service is still failing.
