I'm using docker via calima on MacBook Pro M1. Works fine on the initial run but not working after stopping and starting.

Did the following.

mkdir /usr/local/citadel

docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped --network host --volume=/usr/local/citadel:/citadel-data --name=citadel citadeldotorg/citadel

# Stopped citadel

docker stop citadel

# Start citadel

docker start citadel

# Result when trying to connect from browser

This program was unable to connect or stay connected to the Citadel server. Please report this problem to your system administrator.

Am I stopping and starting Citadel wrong?

Does Citadel have a search function?

Solved the issue by using OrbStack instead of Colima

ShinyToaster

Neither did i, looked it up, seems like a alternative to 'docker desktop' for OSX devices.

I'm glad you figured it out because I have no idea what any of those things are. :)
