Unable to build images on arm64

[palmsey]

I have a task definition like

platform: linux
image_resource:
  type: registry-image
  source:
    repository: concourse/oci-build-task
inputs:
  - name: repo
outputs:
  - name: my-image
run:
  path: build
params:
  CONTEXT: repo

When I run it on my M1 Mac, when it gets to the first RUN command in the Dockerfile I get the error:

#7 0.260 container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:393: copying bootstrap data to pipe caused: write init-p: broken pipe

When I run it in a linux/amd64 EC2 instance, the same task completes successfully. I'm using the docker-compose from the QuickStart, but with the concourse image changed to rdclda/concourse:7.8.2 since concourse/concourse won't run on my M1.

The full file is:

Hi there @palmsey

I'm running into a similar issue, so I was wondering if you ever got this to work and kept a working config somewhere ?

Thanks in advance!

[palmsey]

Sorry, I didn't find a solution for this and eventually switched to GH Actions.

[gsaslis]

thanks for the prompt reply @palmsey !

For What It's Worth (FWIW), I did eventually manage to get this going.

Curious if you can elaborate on how you fixed this issue, @gsaslis -- I am getting past initial mount issues by using a concourse arm64 image as you suggested, but when I attempt to use the oci_build_task image to build an image it fails with a similar "runc run failed: unable to start container process: can't copy bootstrap data to pipe: write init-p: broken pipe".

At the moment my hypothesis is that I also need an arm64 oci_build_task.

It's not clear if "I did eventually manage to get this going" you mean "concourse runs on an m1" OR "concourse runs on an M1 and can build images with the oci-build-task image" -- the latter is what I'm trying to do.
