Docker image platform compatibility issue with MAC Silicon processors(M1/M2)

WARNING: The requested image’s platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested.

Rosetta

Lets know something about it before the fix

Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator developed by Apple Inc. for macOS, an application compatibility layer between different instruction set architectures. It enables a transition to newer hardware, by automatically translating software. The name is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the artifact which enabled translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The first version of Rosetta, introduced in 2006 in Mac OS X Tiger, was part of the Mac transition from PowerPC processors to Intel processors, allowing PowerPC applications to run on Intel-based Macs. The second version, introduced in 2020 as a component of macOS Big Sur, is part of the Mac transition from Intel processors to Apple silicon, allowing Intel applications to run on Apple silicon Macs.

How to fix the compatibility issue?

Enable ‘Rosetta’ virtualisation in Docker Desktop settings.

1. Open Docker Desktop -> Settings

Docker Settings

2. Goto General Tab and enable ‘Use Virtulization framework’

Enable Virtualization

3. Goto ‘Features in development’ tab and make sure ‘Use Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon’ option is enabled

Enable Rosetta settings

4. Click on ‘Apply & restart’

Build and Run Docker images

Use docker option — platform linux/amd64 to build and run the image

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t your-image:latest .

docker run --platform linux/amd64 your-image:latest.
