I'm trying to run some projects using the new Mac M1. Those projects already work on Intel processor and are used by other developers that use Intel.

I am not able to build this simple Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.9RUN python -m pip install --upgrade pipRUN pip install tensorflow==2.6.2

I get this message:

 > [3/3] RUN pip install tensorflow==2.6.2:                                                                                                            
#6 0.583 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.6.2 (from versions: none)                                        
#6 0.583 ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.6.2  

I am able to install tensorflow locally, outside of the Dockerfile. Also, friends are able to build this image from their intel Mac.

I even tried to run docker build com different console architectures: i386 and arm64, but none work.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: you may want to check menrfa's answer by looking at https://github.com/KumaTea/tensorflow-aarch64

The package tensorflow is not available for armv8.

I'll guessing your local python is running using rosetta2 (intel x86_64). You can check that using:

python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.machine())"
x86_64

The solution is forcing Docker to build that image for x86_64 also. It's easy. Just change your Dockerfile to:

FROM --platform=linux/x86_64 python:3.9RUN python -m pip install --upgrade pipRUN pip install tensorflow==2.6.2

Or, if you do not want to change your Dockerfile, you may build that image with:

docker build --platform linux/x86_64 -t myimage .

post note:

as [tyrex] said in a comment, although the tensorflow gets installed on the armv8, it will probably fail due to some bugs on the emulation (eg qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped).

He solved his requirements using PyTorch instead.
