Run amd64 on Mac Silicon M3 Pro chip for ROS Noetic

Docker Engine General

Hello! I am relatively new to docker and am looking to setup containers so that I can run ROS Noetic through my mac (Mac Silicon M3Pro chip).

Currently I am getting a few issues:

  • a mismatch in the platform between the image platform, linux/amd64, and my host platform. I have tried both osrf/ros:noetic-desktop-full and ros:noetic images
  • exit code 134 when I am trying to run the Gazebo GUI from ROS, I have installed XQuarts and allowed access and gazebo apparently will run headless (gui:=false)

Would appreciate any help in getting this setup. Many thanks!
