Docker (Apple Silicon/M1 Preview) MySQL "no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries"

Question

I'm running the latest build of the Docker Apple Silicon Preview. I created the tutorial container/images and it works fine. When I went to create a custom YAML file and run docker-compose I get the following error when pulling mysql:

ERROR: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries

Here is a snippet from my YAMl file:

version: '3'

services:
  # Database
  db:
    image: mysql-server:5.7
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: pass
      MYSQL_DATABASE: wp
      MYSQL_USER: wp
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: wp
    networks:
      - wpsite 

I've tried :latest and :8 which result in the same error. It pulls phpmyadmin and wordpress fine.

Well, technically it will not solve your issue (running MySQL on ARM), but for the time being, you could add platform to your service like:

services:
  db:
    platform: linux/x86_64
    image: mysql:5.7
    ...

Alternatively, consider using MariaDB, which should work as a drop-in replacement like e.g. this:

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.5.8
    ...

Both ways work for me on M1 with the Docker Preview
