Unable to use this on a linux/arm64/v8 OS

[Thijzzie]

All the images available are for linux/amd64. Is there a way available to run BalenaOS in Docker on a linux/arm64/v8 OS?

I'm actually running using "armbian debian" last stable version on AML905x board without problems. And you must install docker and this balenaOS in container .
After that you can run a Generic AARCH64 instance using a command like this:
./balenaos-in-container.sh --config ./Your-Donwload.config.json --image resin/resinos:2.12.4_rev1-generic-aarch64

@manuti I am running this on the Apple Silicon M1 and, although working fine, just noticed it is actually running simulated.

Looking into it, forcing it doesn't help. Seems the aarch64 image actually is amd64.

docker: Error response from daemon: image with reference resin/resinos:2.12.4_rev1-generic-aarch64 was found but does not match the specified platform: wanted linux/arm64, actual: linux/amd64.

I have the same message but my board is an Android TV box with Linux Armbian sideloaded. So, no Rosetta involved in the docker capabilities and I think is impossible to run images from one architecture in other type (maybe Apple M1 can do using Rosetta).

hay @FRVisser I started the box after several weeks offline. Despite the updates running, as you can see everything is running under aarch64 architecture.

Yes, you are right! It works now. But only when you stick to v0.5.3 of balenaos-in-conainer. I made the mistake to pull the latest changes in the hope it was fixed. But the new version complete changed, and I spend hours on trying to get the latest version to work 🙄
