Racket docker M1 Rosetta

General

Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble w/racket specifically under docker emulating x86_64. AFAIK everything else seems to be working fine.

I saw @awiersdorf started a related discussion a while back.

I'm seeing different behavior than he saw; his had sporadic crashes and I'm seeing immediate consistent failures. I've tried a also downloading and executing the installer, and saw a similar failure.

$ uname -m
arm64
$ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 racket/racket:latest sh -c "uname -m; racket"
x86_64
Error: error reading from ~a
("petite")
Aborted
$ docker --version
Docker version 24.0.5, build ced0996

My primary suspect is something I'm doing wrong or don't understand; advice welcome.

This is not really my area of expertise, but you specified amd64 and (AFAICT), all the images are built for x86_64?

Out of my expertise too, @benknoble . But doesn't this seem right?

$ docker image inspect racket/racket:latest --format '{{.Os}}/{{.Architecture}}'
linux/amd64

As far as I can tell, I'm getting the Rosetta emulation for the right platform.

$ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 --rm racket/racket:latest sh -c 'uname -msrpv ; (apt-get update && apt-get install procps -y) >/dev/null 2>&1; ps -ef; racket'

For giggles, I did try it w/linux/x86_64 but no dice. Any other ideas?

tl;dr turn off rosetta, let qemu do its thing unimpeded, and you're good to go.
