/usr/bin/qemu-*-static

This is the official image of qemu-user-static containing qemu-user binaries to execute multi-architecture containers on the same host machine using qemu and binfmt-misc. Versioned accordingly with releases from /multiarch/qemu-user-static.

Get the Image

Pull the image from Docker Hub.

docker pull multiarch/qemu-user-static

Run

We can register binfmt_misc support for architectures like

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes


docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes  --credentials yes
(For when you need credential and security tokens are calculated according to the binary to interpret, especially if you use sudo inside the container to have the correct EUID set)

Also,

That's all folks! Happy containerizing!
