Fails to build docker image for M1 ( ARM ) macbook. Unable to start application.

[susanka068]

system : apple macbook m1 ( ARM based )

I have run docker-compose up in my terminal. it fails to build an image. at first it failing to install google-chrome-stable. after a bit of googling in found out there is no google-chrome for arm based machine.

check here

so I explicitly added --platform=linux/amd64.

but now I am having issues to installing requirements of dev.txt
