'Docker on Mac M1 gives: "The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform"

I want to run a docker container for Ganache on my MacBook M1, but get the following error:

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

After this line nothing else will happen anymore and the whole process is stuck, although the qemu-system-aarch64 is running on 100% CPU according to Activity Monitor until I press CTRL+C.

My docker-files come from this repository. After running into the same issues there I tried to isolate the root cause and came up with the smallest setup that will run into the same error.

This is the output of docker-compose up --build:

Running the whole project on an older iMac with Intel-processor works fine.

Solution 1:[1]

If you're planning to run the image in your laptop, you need to build it for the cpu architecture of that particular machine. You can provide the --platform option to docker build (or even to docker-compose) to define the target platform you want to build the image for.

For example:

docker build --platform linux/amd64  .

Solution 2:[2]

On M1 MacBook Pro, I've had success using docker run --platform linux/amd64

Example

docker run --platform linux/amd64 node

Solution 3:[3]

With docker-compose you also have the platform option.

version: "2.4"
services:
  zookeeper:
    image: confluentinc/cp-zookeeper:7.1.1
    hostname: zookeeper
    container_name: zookeeper
    platform: linux/amd64
    ports:
      - "2181:2181"

You might need to run

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes

in order to register foreign file formats with the kernel.
