ERROR: failed to solve: websphere-liberty:23.0.0.4-full-java8-ibmjava: no match for platform

I have a MacBook (Apple M1 Pro) and trying to build an image FROM websphere-liberty:23.0.0.4-full-java8-ibmjava.

However, I'm getting the below error

` => ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/websphere-liberty:23.0.0.4-full-java8-ibmjava 1.3s

ERROR: failed to solve: websphere-liberty:23.0.0.4-full-java8-ibmjava: no match for platform in manifest sha256:77614c00802348dc0f7b82992174d1259d7ca2f1adf78c4d9237e2de16c0dca4: not found`

I have also tried just only FROM websphere-liberty, but getting the same error.

On official docker image site (https://hub.docker.com/_/websphere-liberty) I see it supports several architectures, including arm64.

Why am I not able to pull the image?

Thanks!

@carlosperri Liberty images use the IBM Java images (available here) as the base image. IBM Java 8 images don't provide arm64, hence Liberty images with IBM Java 8 are not available for arm64. However, Semeru OpenJ9-based images are available for arm64 (i.e. websphere-liberty:23.0.0.4-full-java11-openj9).

fyi:

• https://hub.docker.com/_/websphere-liberty/tags lists the platforms supported by each tag
• UBI based images available from icr.io are listed here: https://github.com/WASdev/ci.docker/blob/main/docs/icr-images.md
