Error response from daemon: No such image: ejabberd/ecs:25.03
but when i do the same on linux ubuntu i can build ecs successfully
so my question is if building ecs on Mac is not possible?
this is my Dockerfile

Quite strange that you can build in linux and the exact same files fail in Mac.
That is the first error message, the one that triggers all the other errors. Maybe there's some problem in elixir 1.15.7 specific to Mac?
I guess if you use an alpine image newer than 3.19, it will use an elixir newer than 1.15.7, just to see if the problem disappears.
Alternatively, you can try building the
ejabberdcontainer image instead of theecsimage. The usage of both images is almost identical, but their build methods are different, and the included versions are different.hvar90 commentedon Apr 23, 2025
i changed to docker.io/golang:1.24.2-alpine AS api
and docker.io/alpine:3.21.3
i am using the latest version of alpine
https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine
but it is using elixir 1.15.7 still and i get the same error message
i found some people had similar errors on mac
do you think there is a relation with my problem?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45764045/trouble-installing-elixir-1-5-on-osx
http://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/9932
i tried this method
as ejabberd container image said
but i got the same error

Hi again, i downloaded the last version of this github and the previous error I had is now fixed, maybe it got fixed thanks to this fix #125, but now another error occurs later in the building
but the error does not always occur on the same line, sometimes it happens later
which is strange because I'm running the same files with the same command and the error appears in different places.
i used this command
but also i use these other commands
having this build.sh
i was using QEMU (Legacy) and i tried to change the Virtual Machine Options of Docker
i selected
Apple Virtualization framework
using Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon
but i got the same error
this is my Dockerfile
also i tried to build for arm64 on my MAC
i got this error
only amd64 is possible using --platform linux/amd64 flag but using that flag i got the error i wrote before

I don't know if it will be related, but some time ago Qemu had a bug and it crashed compiling "ejabberd" container images with it. The first workaround at that time to build "ejabberd" containers for arm using i386 was using crosstool...
Later when Qemu got fixed, it was used again...
But nowadays the "ejabberd" container images are built using native github runners, so Qemu is no longer used to build amd64 and arm64 images.
On the other hand, the "ecs" container images that you are using right now are only built for amd64, so there is no experience building it with Qemu. In theory it should work, if you are using a recent Qemu version that doesn't have that old bug.
Notice that the "ecs" and "mix" container images are built only for amd64.
In my amd64 machine it works:
As you noticed, the "ecs" container image is based on the "mix" container image, which is only built for amd64, not ARM.
Alternatively, you could try using the "ejabberd" container image, which is based on the "erlang" container image, and fortunately that one is built for arm and many other architectures.
If you are already using the "ecs" container image and switch to use the "ejabberd" container image, in theory all paths should be compatible and not require any changes in your start script. But just in case, check the images comparison table.
