Can I run a container for a different CPU architecture using systemd-nspawn? I can easily install on my amd64 host a Debian container of the same architecture and run that:
# debootstrap stable deb12-amd64 # systemd-nspawn -D deb12-amd64 and get a shell running in that container. I can also install a Debian system of a different architecture and run binaries from it like this (using qemu-user-binfmt): # debootstrap --arch=arm64 --foreign stable deb-arm64 # QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu deb-arm64/bin/date Wed Aug 21 16:43:40 CEST 2024 But the following doesn't work # QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu systemd-nspawn -D deb-arm64 Spawning container deb-arm64 on /usr/local/deb-arm64. Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container. execv(/bin/bash, /bin/bash, /bin/sh) failed: No such file or directory Container deb-arm64 failed with error code 1. I'd like to know if it's also possible to run the whole container in arm64 architecture using systemd-nspawn like above for amd64. Steve
