Alternator mode doesn't start in Docker

I’m trying to run the alternator in Docker with:

docker run --name some-scylla --hostname some-scylla -p 8000:8000 -d scylladb/scylla --smp 1 --memory=750M --overprovisioned 1 --alternator-port=8000

and when I watch the log, scylla starts, then shuts down, then restarts, wash, rinse, repeat. What am I missing?

I’m running on a M3 MacBook with Sonoma 14.6.1

Can you please add the relevant logs (first error?)

Problem solved!

docker run --name scylla -p 8000:8000 -d scylladb/scylla:latest --overprovisioned 1 --smp 1 --alternator-port=8000 --alternator-write-isolation=always

works!

I guess I needed the --alternator-write-isolation=always
