ARM is a bit of a special case. You need to build the image on an arm CPU for it to run on arm (or use buildx).

git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox
cd ArchiveBox

docker build . -t archivebox
docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox manage createsuperuser
docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox ...
...

If it still doesn't work after that, can you post the output of running the archivebox version command:

docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox version

You need to *build* the image on an arm CPU for it to run on arm (or use buildx). ```bash git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox cd ArchiveBox docker build . -t archivebox docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox manage createsuperuser docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox ... ... ``` If it still doesn't work after that, can you post the output of running the `archivebox version` command: ```bash docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox version ```

@pirate You can actually use docker buildx to build images for different architectures. For instance, I use this to build for my Pi3 from my Windows desktop:

docker buildx build --platform=linux/arm/v7 .

Thankyou for your help here.
The build completed successfully, but now upon running init I get this error:

redacted@redacted:~/ArchiveBox $ docker run -v ~/archivebox:/data -it archivebox init
[i] [2020-11-16 10:55:20] ArchiveBox v0.4.21: archivebox init

I did this as the init command led to this output:

    Hint: Are you running archivebox in the right folder?
        cd path/to/your/archive/folder
        archivebox [command]

    Hint: To create a new archive collection or import existing data in this folder, run:
        archivebox init

@jackitsdotcom instead of using the volume (-v) with ~/archivebox:/data, create some directory yourself and point to it (or change ~/archivebox permissions:

mkdir ~/mydocker/myarchivebox
docker run -v ~/mydocker/myarchivebox:/data -it archivebox init

Otherwise the folder can be only written by root, that's why it said Permission denied.

I'm going to close this because the docker buildx workflow for ARM cpus is now merged. https://hub.docker.com/r/archivebox/archivebox

If you're still having permissions errors with the data folder @jackitsdotcom please comment here https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/539 and I'd be happy to help.
