Multi-platform

⚡ Requirement nerdctl >= 0.13

nerdctl can execute non-native container images using QEMU. e.g., ARM on Intel, and vice versa.

Preparation: Register QEMU to /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

$ sudo systemctl start containerd

$ sudo nerdctl run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all

$ ls -1 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu*
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-aarch64
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-arm
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-mips64
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-mips64el
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-ppc64le
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-riscv64
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-s390x

The tonistiigi/binfmt container must be executed with --privileged, and with rootful mode (sudo).

This container is not a daemon, and exits immediately after registering QEMU to /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. Run ls -1 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu* to confirm registration.
