Hi everyone,
I’m attempting to install the UniVerse Personal Edition version 14.1.1 on MacOS Tahoe 26.1 on an M1 Macbook. I’m following Rocket’s official PDF (see attachment) on how to do this via a Docker container and using the supporting files from their Github: RocketSoftware/multivalue-containers
Because I’m on Apple Silicon, I adjusted the Dockerfile as follows:
Replaced the original FROM to force AMD64 emulation since I’m on ARM:
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 rockylinux/rockylinux:latest
I also added this to fix a permission error that occurs.RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/*uv.sh
Now, I consistently hit a segmentation fault in the installer during the init_uvsm step. Below is an excerpt of the output logs where the error occurs after running docker compose up:universe-server |
universe-server | Starting UniVerse...
universe-server | UVSMM is started.
universe-server | Starting uvsm...
universe-server | /usr/uv/bin/uv.rc: line 562: 3654 Segmentation fault $uvbin/init_uvsm $init_uvsm_opt > uvsm.log 2>&1
universe-server |
universe-server | Couldn't start init_uvsm. Please check /usr/uv/uvsm.log
universe-server |
universe-server |
universe-server | UVSMM is not running.
universe-server | Error occurred during uvsmm.
universe-server | Restore RFS_PROC_MODE to .

universe-server | Review /tmp/uvinstall.partial.log if needed.
universe-server | UniVerse installation aborted.
universe-server | Install UniVerse failed.
universe-server | Universe not installed
universe-server exited with code 1
I suspect this is related to AMD64 emulation under Docker/Rosetta, but I wanted to know: has anyone successfully run UniVerse on an Apple Silicon Mac using Docker’s --platform=linux/amd64? I’m mainly looking to confirm reproducibility. If anyone has this working, I’d love to hear what environment or image version you used.
I have also attached the entire output log of running the docker compose up command. Please also note that I’m using Rosetta emulation in Docker Desktop:

Thank you for your time,
