Hi @ierturk,

Thanks for your feedback! Sorry for my late reply.

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error" is a common error that occurs when trying to run a Docker image on a different architecture.

This Dockerfile is based on dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc.
There were several images that were not released for arm64 when I started to make this Dockerfile repository.

As a starting point, I created a PR for Dashing.
#20
I wrote "Apple Silicon" because I don't have an arm64 Linux machine, but I think it will work.
I'd appreciate it if you could try it and let me know if it works.

Hi @Tiryoh,

Thans for your reply.

When I try to build the Docker file feature/add-foxy-arm64/foxy-arm64/Dockerfile on Docker Hub, it fails due to same reason on build stage. So I decided to try Docker buildx tool on x86 machine. I tried the docker files under the folder foxy and foxy-arm64 as follow

docker buildx build --load --platform linux/arm64 --tag ierturk/ros2-desktop-vnc:latest .
docker push ierturk/ros2-desktop-vnc:latest

then run as follow on my arm64 machine

docker run -p 6080:80 --shm-size=512m ierturk/ros2-desktop-vnc:latest

The image was created from the docker file under the folder foxy gives same error. The other one was created from the docker file under the folder foxy-arm64 runs successfully. You can find the image on my docker hub account ierturk as ierturk/ros2-desktop-vnc.

Thanks and regards,
Ibrahim

Hi @ierturk,

I've pushed the image to the Docker Hub.
https://hub.docker.com/layers/tiryoh/ros2-desktop-vnc/foxy-arm64-20210420T0029/images/sha256-0fb95dd920bf0c14004be23f2f6708bc40104c1beda43e8dd8c303315fe574d2?context=explore

The image is available with the following command.

docker run -p 6060:80 --shm-size=512m tiryoh/ros2-desktop-vnc:foxy-arm64-20210420T0029

I used Apple Silicon MacBook Air and docker build command, not docker buildx command to build the image.

When I try to build the Docker file feature/add-foxy-arm64/foxy-arm64/Dockerfile on Docker Hub, it fails due to same reason on build stage.

It seems like that the Docker Hub automated build does not support arm64 build for non-official images.
I'm planning to use GitHub Actions to push arm64 images.

Ok. Thanks. The image works on my Toradex Verdin arm64 machine. So I'll remove the image on my repo.

By the way. There are some suggestion on how to automated build for arm64 on hub docker here but it didn't work for me.

Thanks for your additional information!, it did not work for me too. Maybe there could be some way to fix it...
GitHub Actions is very fast and convenient, so I'll use it for the builds.
