Selfhost - Starting Docker containers failed (RaspberryPi 4b)

I am stuck at installing appwrite. Specifically, the containers dont want to start up. The images are downloaded and ready.

Dockhand is reporting containers still being created even though the installation frontend already reports a failure, so i assume the timeout for the frontend is set too low. I know that a raspberry is not a strong device but given the listed specs, it should at least be able to install the docker containers. Anything i can do?

As a side question, i saw appwrite light, which is something i am also interested in but it seems like its long abandoned (last commit 4 years ago). Is there an alternative? is it still being worked on?

TL;DR
- Developer stuck installing appwrite on Raspberry Pi 4b, Docker containers not starting. - Dockhand shows containers still being created even though installation frontend reports failure; possibly due to low frontend timeout. - Interested in appwrite light but it seems abandoned; looking for alternative. - Possible solution: Increase frontend timeout or troubleshoot container startup issues. - Consider exploring alternative options to appwrite light due to abandonment.
