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!

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

This solution fixed the problem! Thanks for your help! – Mcfarland

Fixed it for me as well on a M1 :-) – Recent

Version 7.10.2 :) – Weisberg

Interesting, thank you a lot, it works – Handel

``` $ docker --version Docker version 20.10.8, build 3967b7d ``` ``` $ docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.10.2 WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/share/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java": error=0, Failed to exec spawn helper: pid: 233, exit value: 1 ``` Specifying docker run --platform=linux/amd64 fails, any ideas? – Keldah

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

For me below config worked on M1 mac

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.5'

services:

  my-elasticsearch:
    container_name: my-elasticsearch
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.6
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
      - 9300:9300
    volumes:
      - my-elasticsearch-data:/usr/share/elastiscsearch/data:rw

Change elasticsearch version from 7.5.1 to 7.10.2. (ELK_VERSION=7.10.2)
