Written for k3s, but works on any cluster: bind mounts use hostPath, named volumes get a
persistent volume claim, and ports are exposed via a LoadBalancer service.

QEMU Static - Run multiple architectures of Docker containers on an x8664 or aarch64 host using QEMU static.

Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.Simply pulling
lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag | | :----: | :----: | ---- | | x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\
Usage
Unlike most of our container library this image is meant to be run ephemerally from the command line to enable the underlying host to run containers built for different architechtures. Changes will not persist a host reboot.Enable and reset
docker run --rm -it \
--privileged \
linuxserver/qemu-static \
--reset \

- 17.11.25: - Use Debian Trixie for build.
- 09.12.24: - Upgrade to 9.1.2, automate new builds.
- 07.11.24: - Upgrade to 9.1.1, switch to new debian package and bin naming scheme.
- 14.10.24: - Initial release.
Serve Qemu-static on your own domain behind Caddy, Nginx or Traefik. Fill in your domain and copy the result. It's a starting point, some apps need their own base URL or extra headers set too.
Proxying qemu-static.example.com to http://Qemu-static:80
Add this to your Caddyfile
qemu-static.example.com {
reverse_proxy http://Qemu-static:80
}Check the logs first
Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.
- In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run
docker logs Qemu-static - Exit codes help too:
137means killed, usually out of memory.126or127means the command inside the image is broken.
Port already in use
If deployment fails with "Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated", something else on your server is using that port.
- Find what's using it:
sudo ss -tlnp | grep :80 - Stop the other service, or pick a different host port. In
80:80only the left number is yours to change, the right one belongs to the app.
Running but the page won't load
The container is up but nothing appears in your browser.
- Use your server's real IP:
http://your-server-ip:80. The 0.0.0.0 link Portainer shows isn't a real address. - Give it a minute after first deploy, Qemu-static can take a while to initialise.
- Make sure your firewall allows the port, e.g.
sudo ufw allow 80
Permission denied on volumes
If the logs show "permission denied", the app can't write to its data folder on the host.
- Fix the ownership:
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /srv/lsio/qemu-static/config - Or set the
PUIDandPGIDvariables (defaults 1000:1000) to match your own user, found withid $USER
Image won't pull
Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull linuxserver/qemu-static:latest
- "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses
latest, so try pinning a specific version instead. - "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with
docker loginto raise it. - "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with
docker system prune
"exec format error"
This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.
- This image supports:
amd64, arm64 - Check yours with
uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.
Container keeps restarting
The unless-stopped restart policy relaunches the app after every crash, so the real error can scroll past.
- Check the logs right after a restart, the last few lines before it died are the useful ones.
- Get the exit code with
docker inspect Qemu-static --format '{{.State.ExitCode}}' - Still stuck? Redeploy once with the restart policy set to
noso the failure stays visible.
