Sometimes i use Docker Desktop on my Mac with Apple Silicon to try some stuff. And nearly every time I forget that Docker Desktop tries to pull a image with „linux/arm64/v8“ which not every image is built for.
So one has to go to the terminal and issue a command like this:
% docker pull networktocode/nautobot-lab:1.6.2 --platform linux/amd64In this example I pull a nautobot-lab environment and what does the trick here is the „–platform linux/amd64“ which tells the process to pull an image for an amd64 platform. This image is then run on Rossetta2.
Dont’t forget to checkout Nautobot if you’re somewhat in into networking :-)
Nautobot is a great source for networking data and provides this data via API or Modules/Plugins to be used with Ansible, Python Scripts, Cisco Genie/pyATS and more.
