M1 Mac - Issue bringing up ElasticSearch. Cannot run jdk/bin/java

Question

Have done a bit of searching to no avail. Attempting to setup a project with an Elasticsearch docker container. Works on my older intel MacBook but no luck so far with the new system.

elasticsearch    | Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/share/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java": error=0, Failed to exec spawn helper.
elasticsearch    |  at java.base/java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1128)

Would greatly appreciate any help or pointing in the right direction!

Answer 1

Ran into this too with the image from dockerhub, but it seems using the official docker build from Elastic now works fine on my M1 Mac.

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.10.2

According to this comment: https://github.com/opendistro/for-elasticsearch-docs/issues/385#issuecomment-867198711 there are specific builds for Apple M1 with the suffix -arm64, example:

docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.10.2-arm64
