Hey everyone, I ran into a problem while setting up the development environment for Mautic on my Mac M1. The issue was that the installation kept failing because of a health check problem. After investigating, I found out that the reason was using an outdated image of redis-commander (Docker), which hasn’t been updated in three years. This old image isn’t compatible with the type of processor (linux/arm64) that Mac M1 uses, so it needed emulation, which caused the health check to fail. Additionally, this old image has a lot of security vulnerabilities.
Now, many organizations use a different image for redis-commander (GitHub - joeferner/redis-commander: Redis management tool written in node.js) that gets updated frequently with patches and has good security ratings. It also supports all platforms, so I replaced the old image in the config with this one to make Mautic run smoothly. One big advantage of this new image is that it compiles directly on the Mac, which makes it faster compared to the old one.
Let me know if we would want to update this image officially for mautic or is there any reason that we are still using an old image for redis-commander? I can raise a PR for the same.
I’m using ddev on a M1 chip for years with no issue but perhaps I didn’t try to use Redis and so I didn’t get the same issues. Please send the PR with steps to test.
When I tried to run ddev start for setting up mautic, I got the following error:
Network ddev_default created

You have Mutagen enabled and your 'php' project type doesn't have `upload_dirs` set.
For faster startup and less disk usage, set upload_dirs to where your user-generated files are stored.
If this is intended you can disable this warning with `ddev config --disable-upload-dirs-warning`.

Failed to start mautic: container(s) failed to become healthy before their configured timeout or in 120 seconds. This might be a problem with the healthcheck and not a functional problem. (health check timed out: labels map[com.ddev.site-name:mautic] timed out without becoming healthy, status=, detail= ddev-mautic-redis-commander:starting - more info with `docker inspect --format "{{json .State.Health }}" ddev-mautic-redis-commander` )
I tried to inspect it using docker inspect --format "{{json .State.Health }}" ddev-mautic-redis-commander and got the following output:
{"Status":"starting","FailingStreak":2,"Log":[{"Start":"2024-03-13T08:57:32.309618501Z","End":"2024-03-13T08:57:34.411254919Z","ExitCode":-1,"Output":"Health check exceeded timeout (2s)"},{"Start":"2024-03-13T08:58:34.41763521Z","End":"2024-03-13T08:58:36.485690461Z","ExitCode":-1,"Output":"Health check exceeded timeout (2s)"}]}
When i checked the redis-commander image on docker desktop, it showed a warning sign with image using linux/amd arch with emulation having performance issues and also the image being vulnerable.
Therefore, I checked the image on dockerhub and when it was updated and for which platforms it was available and if there are any alternatives that are being used widely that’s when i came across https://github.com/joeferner/redis-commander
