What You Are Seeing?

I'm using macos 26.4 (25E246) on an m1. I got docker desktop for mac installed.
When following the official documentation present on this page: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/guides/non-windows, I got the following fail:

❯ docker pull chocolatey/choco
Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries: no match for platform in manifest: not found

What is Expected?

I would expect to have a container image downloaded for my platform.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

Using macos with docker desktop and running

• docker pull chocolatey/choco

We currently do not support ARM based systems unfortunately, as such the docker build is also just set up without any ARM64 manifest.

Until we support ARM based systems in Chocolatey CLI itself, it is unlikely that we would have a docker build that support ARM64.

You may attempt to try using the .tar.gz file available in our latest release (https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/releases/latest) to see if maybe that will work for you.

Those are windows only it won't help us with the hardware we currently got.
