Mac OS M1 Chip and Docker issue - ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/mysql:5.6

 So I expect you've found this post by looking for the Error. 

ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/mysql:5.6

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: no match for platform in manifest sha256:

And then you've caught site of 'Mac OS M1' chip and thought 'Oh yeah I've got a Mac with this type of chip.   

So here's the thing; at the time of writing Docker does not fully support the M1 chip.  

You may want to make you have the right version of Docker For Apple Silicon M1 Chip

I managed to fix the issue above though with the following .  My code for the MySql container was 

mysql:

# image: mysql:5.6

build:

context: ./

dockerfile: ./Dockerfile-mysql

volumes:

- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql:rw

and I changed this to 

mysql:

image: mysql:5.6

platform: linux/x86_64

build:

context: ./

dockerfile: ./Dockerfile-mysql

volumes:

- mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql:rw
