Install the emulators
docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all -
Create a new buildx environment
docker buildx create --name multiarch --driver docker-container --bootstrap --use
NOTE: It may be necessary to uninstall incorrectly registered emulators e.g. docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --uninstall qemu-x86_64 before reinstalling them.
To allocate resources for WSL2, create the file .wslconfig in the %UserProfile% directory. Allocate 4GB of RAM (or more if available) like this:
[wsl2]
memory=4GB
Other settings can also be applied.
On macOS and Windows [1], a linux virtual machine (Moby based on Alpine Linux) acts as an intermediary in which images, containers and volumes are stored.
- [1]: On macOS the Linux virtual machine which hosts the containers can be inspected with the command:
screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/tty
- [2]: If you are using PowerShell, you can enable tab completion by installing the PowerShell module
posh-docker. Similarly, for tab completion of git commands in PowerShell, installposh-git.
