Bundler: Your bundle only supports platforms ["arm64-darwin-23"]

Quick fix

Read the commands before running them. Anything that restarts a service, deletes data or changes permissions should be tried on a non-production system first.

# Which platforms does the lock file know about?
sed -n '/^PLATFORMS/,/^$/p' Gemfile.lock

# And which one is this machine?
ruby -e 'puts Gem::Platform.local'

# Add the platforms you deploy to
bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux
bundle lock --add-platform aarch64-linux

# Alpine images need the musl variants
# bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux-musl

# Commit the result
git add Gemfile.lock && git commit -m 'Add Linux platforms to lock file'

How to diagnose Ruby errors

Ruby errors are dominated by Bundler and gem resolution, native extension compilation (which needs system headers Ruby cannot install for you), and in Rails by the pending-migration and asset-precompilation guards. Those guards are deliberate safety checks, so the fix is to satisfy them rather than to disable them.

If the quick fix above does not resolve it, work through these steps. They apply to this whole class of error, not just to this one message, which is usually what saves the time.

1. Run bundle install with verbose output and read which gem fails and why. Native extension failures name the missing header in the mkmf log.
2. Check the mkmf log path the error prints. It contains the actual compiler error, which the Bundler summary truncates.
3. For Rails migration errors, run rails db:migrate:status to see exactly which migrations the database has recorded.
4. For asset errors in production, confirm rails assets:precompile ran during deployment and that the manifest is present in public/assets.
5. Verify the Ruby version matches .ruby-version and the Gemfile. Version managers silently switch, producing gem-not-found errors for gems that are installed elsewhere.

Tools worth reaching for

• bundle install --verbose
• rails db:migrate:status
• gem env
• rbenv/rvm version check
• bundle exec
