Running on macOS

[msrocka]

In general it should work in the same way as for Linux. However, the native libraries for macOS need to be packaged then. I uploaded a Docker layer for macOS: https://github.com/GreenDelta/gdt-server/pkgs/container/gdt-server-native-macos

This can be used in the same way as the Linux library layer here: https://github.com/GreenDelta/olca-ipc-container/blob/main/Dockerfile#L8

It should work by replacing this line like this like this:

# native libraries
FROM ghcr.io/greendelta/gdt-server-native-macos AS native

However, these libraries only work with an x64 JVM. Thus, when building the Docker image, linux/amd64 (or darwin/amd64??) needs to be passed into the build command of the image like this:

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t olca-ipc-server .

I could not run the olca-ipc-server with the macOS library.
I think the reason is that Docker is running on a Linux VM on macOS, so we must use Linux libraries.
In fact, I was able to run the calculation by building the image with this Dockerfile and the over-mentioned command (docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t olca-ipc-server .). The container also needs to be started with the --platform linux/amd64 tag.
