+## Supported OS architectures
+
+Since some images are not built with multi-arch, in particular the SciCat ones, make sure to specify the platform of the service in the docker-compose, when needed, to avoid possible issues when running `docker compose up` on different platforms, for example on MAC with arm64 architecture. See for example the [backendv4 docker-compose](./services/backendv4/docker-compose.yaml#L6)
