A Docker Error on Mac

When building a Dockerfile from my MacBook:

> docker build .
Sending build context to Docker daemon  123kB
Step 1/8 : FROM debian:jessie
jessie: Pulling from library/debian
no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries

A quick search of the error “no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries” indicates it has to do with Apple M1 Chip.

Workaround

Pull the image with the platform specified:

> docker pull — platform linux/amd64 debian:jessie

Then run build again:

> docker build .
