Hello,

I’m trying install Discourse on Oracle Cloud use Arm-Based Compute: [Arm-Based Compute](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Compute/References/arm.htm#arm)

> **[Ampere Cloud Computing Solutions for Efficient and Scalable Performance](https://amperecomputing.com/)**

But it not work:

```plaintext
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
standard_init_linux.go:228: exec user process caused: exec format error
Your Docker installation is not working correctly

```

Is there somehow to make it work? Thanks.

Not right now. There has been some discussion about it and maybe some people are doing development with arm but I don’t think there will be production support any time soon.

Search is a beautiful thing. Here’s the latest post I can find on the topic of ARM64 at least:

That PR link links to [https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5321](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5321) where they say: [the only solution is to switch to arm64-capable multi-arch images.](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5321#issuecomment-824283216) These will also be a lot faster and generally more reliable. I recommend investigating which base images you’re using and to switch to multi-arch ones where possible. You can see which architectures are supported by each image on …
