EDIT: this issue seems to be tracked here: https://github.com/localstack/localstack/issues/12054
I'm trying to run awslocal with localstack. I am running MacOS on an M4 Pro.
I am starting localstack using localstack start, then running awslocal dynamodb list-tables. This command gets stuck with no output, and the docker container gives me a huge error message - the relevant parts of which are:
LocalStack version: 4.0.4.dev126 LocalStack build date: 2025-01-23 LocalStack build git hash: bdfdf1509

and then repeatedly:

Note especially

Which suggests it's an architecture mismatch?
I installed localstack using brew install localstack/tap/localstack-cli. Installed Docker using Docker Desktop. I installed awslocal in a venv using pip install "awscli-local[ver1]"
I tried alternative ways of installing, eg brew install awscli-local together with brew install awscli@1.
I tried reinstalling Docker.
I tried all combinations of the following settings in Docker:
I tried installing localstack via docker-compose, using image: localstack/localstack:latest-arm64
I tried clearing my docker cache, deleting docker images, containers and volumes, deleting ~/Library/Caches/localstack/volume, making sure I pull localstack/localstack:latest as suggested here:
https://github.com/localstack/localstack/issues/8058
None of which changed the error in any way. What might I be doing wrong?
This seems to be a bug in the localstack:latest-arm64 image that affects M4 processors. A possible workaround is enabling Rosetta in Docker and using the localstack:latest-amd64 image instead, as in
docker run \
--rm -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:4566:4566 \
-p 127.0.0.1:4510-4559:4510-4559 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
localstack/localstack:latest-amd64
