Doesn't seem to work on Mac Monerey

[SigmaOutdoors]

It started with it just spinning on startup waiting for geoserver to start with a host platform warning.

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

I found some information that said I should try --platform linux/amd64 which I did

docker run --name gs --detach -p 8080:8080 --platform linux/amd64 geosolutionsit/geoserver

Now it seems to "start" as far as the logs are concerned but I can't get to

http://localhost:8080/geoserver

I tried just downloading the Tomcat Docker image on it's own and spinning it up. I can get to the same ports so it isn't some kind of network/firewall issue that I can see.

Hi @SigmaOutdoors
Please try the following to understand whether or not geoserver is running in the container:

docker exec -it gs bash -c 'curl -v localhost:8080/geoserver'

You should get an HTTP 302 redirect

*   Trying 127.0.0.1:8080...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)
> GET /geoserver HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8080
> User-Agent: curl/7.74.0
> Accept: */*

* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

Also make sure no other service or container is running already on port 8080

OK so oddly enough, my Mac rebooted midday yesterday for no reason (crash I suspect). This is very rare as it is a new Macbook pro. Today (post reboot) I ran exactly the same docker command as yesterday and it geoserver came up. In answer to your suggestion, yesterday when it was hanging I did shell into the container and ran that exact curl command to try and debug myself and it also hung, that is when I reached out to you guys (forgot to mention that).

So it was one of two things, maybe Docker Desktop for Mac was having some issues and needed the reboot, which would be odd because as I said tomcat was working. The only other thing I did was download install & run the geoserver platform independent binary (which worked without issue), and yes I made sure to stop this before running the docker version. This obviously should have zero bearing on docker geoserver working or not. So in short, I don't know what happened. It is working and I appreciate you getting back to me.

I should also add that it came up with and without the --platform linux/amd64 flag.

no problem. Glad it's working and thanks for reporting
