Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
I get the same issue, though I thought it was because I use Podman and not Docker. so I just ignored it. I recall when I first deployed Homarr that it did seem to work, but I don't know when it last worked.

I'm seeing similar errors in v1.43.1. Running on macOS. Attached my logs, docker compose, and screenshot of the board tile in question. Lmk anything else you need.
Debug logs throw the same errors.
Please upload logs to pastebin
And attach your yaml as a code block, not as a file

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Confirmed it works fine in v0.16.0. Same socket path, same PUID/PGID.

Running as a different user | Homarr documentation
By default the container is running with user root and group root.
Landed here due to the same
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'online_cpus')
error.
Mine was caused by containers still running in docker I had removed and orphaned from compose stacks. (containers running -> edited compose files -> compose down compose up with less services)
I checked what containers are returning null online_cpus
Noticed their all containers I didn't intend to run anymore.
Made extra sure
and killed them with this script
After this the Manage->tools->docker started working right away.
