hello and a happy new year.
i got a new macbook with m1 cpu. can you tell me the best solution for work on it with laravel ?
Probably a Docker based solution. Either
Let us know how you get on, I've been itching to buy one
does composer using terminal not working on it? I havent looked into docker... why exactly do we need it?
thanks...
I tried to install Sail, but the mysql version is not for the M1, I got these message... Pulling mysql (mysql:8.0)... 8.0: Pulling from library/mysql ERROR: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries
This was a contemporaneous documentation by Matt Stauffer whenever he got his M1 mac mini back in November
I don't know how current it is...
just starting using M1 to dev the laravel stuck from beginning, can't install the composer
this helped me to install laravel, but mysql isn running on my m1 https://austencam.com/posts/setting-up-an-m1-mac-for-laravel-development-with-homebrew-php-mysql-valet-and-redis
i think i will wait until, sail is ready for the m1
If you have problems installing MySQL then you can try MariaDB instead. MariaDB is compatible with MySQL.
See: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-m1/#known-issues
Adding platform: linux/x86_64 to your mysql service in docker-compose.yml will have you on your way, e.g.:
mysql:
platform: linux/x86_64
image: 'mysql:8.0'
As per the docker page (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-silicon/) Just make sure you're running Rosetta 2
softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
This worked! After wasting a half-day trying to set up mariaDB, this was an instant solution. Thanks!
