Raspberry-Pi Docker Error: Standard_Init_Linux.Go:178: Exec User Process Caused "Exec Format Error"

Raspberry-pi docker error: standard_init_linux.go:178: exec user process caused exec format error

Raspberries use ARM and not x86_64 processors. You can only run images created for that architecture. Try searching for ARM or ARMv7 on docker hub. There is a Debian image for ARM I know of but there must be others as well.

The underlying issue is that the binary format used by ARM is not compatible with x86_64, which is the architecture used by most desktop and server systems.

Docker error: standard_init_linux.go:228: exec user process caused: exec format error

A "multiarch" Python interpreter built on MacOS is intended to target MacOS-on-Intel and MacOS-on-Apple's-arm64.

There is absolutely no binary compatibility with Linux-on-Apple's-arm64, or with Linux-on-aarch64. You can't run MacOS executables on Linux, no matter if the architecture matches or not.

I forgot to put

#!/bin/bash

at the top of the sh file, problem solved.

Posting comment as the community wiki answer for better visibility:

Reinstalling both Kubernetes and Docker solves the issue

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused exec format error

I can see that you add the command command: [/app/helloworld.py] to yaml file.

so you need to (in Dockerfile):

RUN chmod +x /app/helloworld.py

set shebang to your py file:

#!/usr/bin/env python # whatever your defualt python to run the script

or setup the command the same as you did in Dockerfile

I've experienced similar issues that was caused by the docker image being built on one architecture (say AMD64) but then failed when trying to run on a different architecture (ARM64).
Look into QEMU
tutorial

docker ref

docker buildx exec user process caused: exec format error

To cross-compile requires qemu-user-static and infmt-support.

$ sudo apt install -y qemu-user-static binfmt-support

qemu-user-static for user mode emulation of QEMU, and binfmt_misc for switching to QEMU when read other executable binary. Then, tell docker to use them.

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

You must be afraid to run unknown image as privileged, but the content is safe. Next, create a user in docker for building images.

$ docker buildx create --name sofia # name as you like
$ docker buildx use sofia
$ docker buildx inspect --bootstrap

If you success, buildkit will be pulled:
