Hey,

I'm trying to build an image for my server platform linux/aarch64 .
For this I have following git action:

              uses: docker/login-action@v3

            - name: Extract metadata (tags, labels) for Docker
              id: meta
              uses: docker/metadata-action@v5
              with:
                  images: link-to-my-registry/web-application

                  context: .
                  file: ./Dockerfile
                  platforms: linux/aarch64
                  push: true

I tried it on my local system:
docker build --platform linux/aarch64 . --no-cache
There is no such problem.

Has somebody an idea ?

[Tockra]

Okay I found the solution. I don't know the reason, but there is a problem because the runner has not the aarch64 architecture. So there is a problem when it tries to run stuff inside the aarch64 container.
I don't understand why, because I thought the buildx command is specially for cross compile and I have no similar issue when I choose platform linux/amd64 on my local arm (macos) system.

But after adding following step the problem was soluted:

            - name: Set up QEMU
              uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
              with:
                  platforms: linux/aarch64
