failed to load LLB: runtime execution on platform linux/arm64 not supported

[tamalsaha]

We started using the new docker buildx to build arm64 images. But it is not working with debian base image.

DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 --load --pull -t kubedb/operator:v0.13.0-rc.0-dbg_linux_arm64 -f bin/.dockerfile .

I am getting anything with google search for failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to load LLB: runtime execution on platform linux/arm64 not supported.

On the same machine, the following arm64 image is building ok.

FROM gcr.io/distroless/base

ADD bin/linux_arm64/operator /operator

# This would be nicer as `nobody:nobody` but distroless has no such entries.
USER 65535:65535

ENTRYPOINT ["/operator"]

Any help is appreciated.

you need to install qemu-user https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/132#issuecomment-521759117

[tamalsaha]

Thanks @tonistiigi . It seems that I had already installed it but still getting this error.

I had a mybuilder that was not working.

$ env DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled docker buildx ls

  default    default                     running linux/amd64

I rm-rf the old builder and then created a new one and things are working now.

So, the problem was the old builder did not have arm64. I don't know why. Thanks @Carlosedp helping me get this working.

[tonistiigi]

You need to restart or recreate the builder for it to pick up new qemu support.

[ghost]

Hi, have the same problem, am working with rhel7 and runed'install qemu-user', but when run 'buildx ls', it show only 'running linux/amd64, linux/386', and it don't show 'linux/amd64, linux/arm64...'. What can I have do, please?

[tamalsaha]

Delete the old builder and create a new builder.

ok, thanks a lot! I will do this.

[ghost]

I see I need to read a little more about it, but I'm having a little trouble finding something about using this buildx technology ... I'd like to create a raspbian / arm docker image in my rhel7 environment, but I'm with some difficulty. Could you please pass some link with material that could help me. I'll be very grateful. Thank you!

It worked for me after installing qemu-user and running the getting started tutorial at multiarch/qemu-user-static

[wohali]

I found that on my work image, I have to constantly re-run the multiarch/qemu-user-static process after each boot. It's a simple enough workaround for us anyway.

[hfedcba]

For me running

docker run --rm --privileged docker/binfmt:66f9012c56a8316f9244ffd7622d7c21c1f6f28d

solved the problem.

[HeroCC]

Sorry to bug anyone, but I'm having the same issue. I've been trying to get this to work for a while now but can't seem to do it. I run the following, and yet my buildx builder doesn't have the new platforms supported, and the build gets that same error. The base image I'm trying to build is ubuntu:18.04 and I'm running on GitlabCI shared infrastructure (docker:stable image, dind service running, privileged containers enabled).

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
docker buildx create --use
docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
  * Platforms: linux/amd64, linux/386
docker buildx build --load --platform "linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7" -t name .

Full Build Logs: https://gitlab.com/moos-ivp/moosdocker/-/jobs/396347211 CI Configuration / scripts: https://gitlab.com/moos-ivp/moosdocker/blob/d8bc10615ddf928c8fda8cf250cfa2c973734e29/.gitlab-ci.yml

Thank you!

[Silex]

@HeroCC: try docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes instead and it should work

Note that docker buildx ls will not list linux/arm/v7 as platform but it works.

[joariasl]

If you are using buildx with a Docker In Docker instance, you must be sure that the buildx instance created and the configuration of usage is made from the specific user of the runner. Check it with the docker buildx inspect command and be sure that the .docker/buildx folder exists.

[brainstorm]

@Silex, I tried docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes on a RHEL7 machine, but all I'm getting in both regular user and root is:

Setting /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static as binfmt interpreter for aarch64

I guess that the problem comes from the fact that I have qemu-user instead of qemu-user-static installed on my system... does it really have to be the static one? Do you have/know of any other container that works with qemu-user instead?:

Gotcha, thanks! That'll never work with a 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 kernel it seems, too legacy RHEL7 :/

Thanks it's works for me on azure pipelines:

• I installed qemu
• I removed and created a new builder
