HomeAssistant cannot start due to memory allocation failure on aarch64

Installation
1

I am installing HomeAssistant on Debian 12 Bookworm testing, on Mac mini M1.
I am using standard docker installation.

When searching for this error it was mentioned before with QNAP. And I have the versions of docker and libseccomp2 above the requirement.

Any suggestions on how this could be fixed?

Here is the log:

So on a MAC Mini M1 (ARM64, AArch64), does it need rosetta to universally run apps for both intel/arm64?

What I’ve found is it is usually a mismatch between processor bit support 32/64 (kernel, OS and it’s dependencies/libraries, and the application(s) with databases. Make sure that everything in this case supports/uses the 64 bit operation.

Have you checked here: Linux - Home Assistant ?

Under Optimizations:

The Home Assistant Container is using an alternative memory allocation library jemalloc for better memory management and Python runtime speedup.

As jemalloc can cause issues on certain hardware, it can be disabled by passing the environment variable DISABLE_JEMALLOC with any value…

It is running debian so there is no rosetta. It is essentially just an ARM Linux

Thanks this worked!
