I was following the official docker labs hands-on tutorial for multi-container apps tutorials. While running the below command on MacBook Pro M1 terminal
docker run -d `
--network todo-app --network-alias mysql `
-v todo-mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql `
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret `
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=todos `
mysql:5.7
I am getting the below error.
docker: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries.
If anyone else runs into this issue while following the guide on a Mac M1 machine specifically, the quickest work-around is probably to add the flag:
--platform linux/amd64
like
docker run -d \
--platform linux/amd64 \
--network todo-app --network-alias mysql \
-v todo-mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=todos \
mysql:5.7

When you check the offical mysql image, you can see there is no mention of linux/arm64/v8
In the case of mysql docker docs even states that:
Not all images are available for ARM64 architecture. You can add --platform linux/amd64 to run an Intel image under emulation. In particular, the mysql image is not available for ARM64. You can work around this issue by using a mariadb image.
So you could use mariadb as a workaround, until they offer official support for mysql like so:
docker run -d \
-v todo-mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=todos \
mariadb:10.5
See: github.com/docker-library/mysql/issues/318
If you really need the mysql image you could try the workaround mentioned in the same issue here. As of now I can't test this, because I don't have an m1 macbook.
Incase you are using docker compose for your container ochestration you can have your docker-compose.yaml file mirror something similar to this
services:
mysql:
platform: linux/amd64
#you can use whatever image you prefer
image: "mysql:5.7"
