Is it possible to use Google BigQuery as a source in M1 macs right now? I saw in the issue here that some connectors do not work for M1

I have the same problem, I had to create an instance T2 medium on aws EC2 and create a tunnel for the UI https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-aws-ec2

Thanks for the reply @Daniel Eduardo Portugal Revilla! I’m assuming you created a VM with Ubuntu and installed Airbyte in there, right?

Hi @Sreeram Venkitesh you can try to patch the BigQuery connector image yourself by using ARM-compatible image source, but indeed at the moment the BigQuery source is not running on M1.

Hmm I would probably need to install Airbyte on an Azure VM anyway so that I can have it inside my live app. How do you recommend I proceed here?

We have a deployment guide for Azure here : https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-azure-vm-cloud-shell

I created a VM in Azure via the Azure portal dashboard and have downloaded the
<vm-name>_key.pem
certificate, which I used to ssh in to the VM. Is this the private ssh key that I need to use in the Connect to Airbyte step? Edit: I tried running it with the mentioned certificate, and I’m able to access airbyte at localhost:8000. Is it normal for the
ssh -N -L 8000:localhost:8000 -i <path to key> user@ip
command to not have any output printed in our local terminal?

Yes I think this is normal, as it's a way to open a port forward between your instance and your local machine using ssh

Thank you!
