Browsertrix Local Install Error on Migrations

Hello,
I am trying to run a local deployment and I have the same issue described in Browsertrix deployment stalls when initializing container migrations.

I am using Debian and k3s. I’ve disabled the firewall just like Pierre suggested in the linked thread but it is not working.

UPDATE: I’ve tried to follow the steps to deploy a remote configuration (with a .local domain, though) but it still fails.

Found the issue!

When looking at the logs of “local-mongo-0”, I saw a warning:

WARNING: MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!
see https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-54407
see also https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/mongodb-5-0-cpu-intel-g4650-compatibility/116610/2
see also https://github.com/docker-library/mongo/issues/485#issuecomment-891991814

I thought it was just a warning and not an error, but it turns out that the mongodb container did not start because of that!

For context, I was running this in a VM with no AVX support. Once I changed the CPU options to support AVX it started working with no issues!

I’ve had the same problem before, trying to run MongoDB on an old budget laptop, I’m glad you got it working!
