SOLVED:

I have an M1 Apple Silicon chip Mac with default Docker arch ARM64. To fix, build the docker image with AMD64:

docker build --platform linux/amd64 --no-cache -t test-container .

Also on M1. For those using docker-compose, you can set the DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM environment variable
i.e.
export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64

I've an M2 and I had to add --platform=linux/amd64 to my docker file i.e. FROM --platform=linux/amd64 maven:latest to make it work.

Hi Team,
I have added --platform=linux/amd64 to my docker file and now I am not getting the error "Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable" but now my installation is getting stuck at:
=> [ 7/12] RUN apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable 1497.6s
=> => # 1. Africa 6. Asia 11. System V timezones
=> => # 2. America 7. Atlantic Ocean 12. US
=> => # 3. Antarctica 8. Europe 13. None of the above
=> => # 4. Australia 9. Indian Ocean
=> => # 5. Arctic Ocean 10. Pacific Ocean
=> => # Geographic area:

I guess this is expecting some input, but how can I pass the input from the docker file? I don't want to manually do anything when installing through dockerfile....even if I try to enter anything manually, it does not take the input..... overall, installation does not go beyond this point ......any one faced it ?

Also on M1. For those using docker-compose, you can set the DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM environment variable i.e. export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64

This is also possible to use in the docker-compose.yml:

services:
  app:
    platform: linux/x86_64
    build:
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ...

Of course this also does not take advantage of the M1 and everything loads forever. Looking for a pure M1 solution still!

I'm now using this workaround (using chromium instead of chrome) - works on M1!

apt-get install -y chromium
