Background
I am using docker to do a school project. Specifically, I pulled an ubuntu image and here is the system config:
I then logged into the docker container (ubuntu) and set up elasticsearch. When I try to run
./bin/elasticsearch I get the following error inside the docker container's terminal
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory I have two main confusions:
- what does that even mean?
- How to solve it?

If you are running this on an M1 macbook, it's possible that you are running a native Arm image of ubuntu, instead of the emulated x86 image. If the elasticsearch distribution you are trying to install is for x86_64, then it attempts to link to the x86-64-native ld.so, which of course isn't present on different platforms.
Either install the package for the arm platform specifically if they provide one, or - more likely - run docker explicitly as the emulated x86_64 platform:
docker run --platform linux/x86_64 <image> For docker-compose, add platform: linux/x86_64 according to the docs
services: my-app: platform: linux/x86_64 No idea what you are running in your container but for me, the reason was simply because a package (Prisma ) did not find openssl packages and installing them on alpine image failed even with openssl manually installed.
It was fixed by switching to slim image and installing openssl with apt-get update && apt-get -y install openssl. I highly recommend not changing your platform since with my M1 the build time increased by 200s using linux/x86_64.
Completing @misnomer answer, I could not even build the image. If that is the case just add FROM --platform=linux/x86_64 ..., from this source. Ex: FROM --platform=linux/x86_64 python:slim ...
