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:
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>
