My host is incompatible with images based on Ubuntu Jammy

Some x86_64 hosts running older versions of the Docker engine are not compatible with some images based on Ubuntu Jammy.
  • Symptoms
    If your host is affected you may see errors in your containers such as:
    ERROR - Unable to determine java version; make sure Java is installed and callable
    Or
    Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80070008
    Or
    WARNING :: MAIN : webStart.py:initialize:249 : can't start new thread
  • Resolution

My host is incompatible with images based on rdesktop

Some x86_64 hosts have issues running rdesktop based images even with the latest Docker version due to syscalls that are unknown to Docker.
  • Symptoms
    If your host is affected you may see errors in your containers such as:
    Failed to close file descriptor for child process (Operation not permitted)
  • Resolution
    For Docker CLI, run your container with:
    --security-opt seccomp=unconfined
    For Docker Compose, run your container with:
    security_opt:
    - seccomp=unconfined

My host is incompatible with images based on Ubuntu Focal and Alpine 3.13 and later

This only affects 32 bit installs of distros based on Debian Buster.
This is due to a bug in the libseccomp2 library (dependency of Docker itself), which is fixed. However, it's not pushed to all the repositories.
You have a few options as noted below. Options 1 is short-term, while option 2 is considered the best option if you don't plan to reinstall the device (option 3).
  • Resolution
    If you decide to do option 1 or 2, you should just need to restart the container after confirming you have libseccomp2.4.4 installed.
    If 1 or 2 did not work, ensure your Docker install is at least version 20.10.0, refer to the official Docker docs for installation.​
    • Option 1
      Manually install an updated version of the library with dpkg.
      wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libs/libseccomp/libseccomp2_2.4.4-1~bpo10+1_armhf.deb
      sudo dpkg -i libseccomp2_2.4.4-1~bpo10+1_armhf.deb
      This url may have been updated. Find the latest by browsing here.
  • Option 2
    Add the backports repo for DebianBuster. As seen here.
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 04EE7237B7D453EC 648ACFD622F3D138
    echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -t buster-backports libseccomp2
  • Option 3
    Reinstall/update your OS to a version that still gets updates.
    • Any distro based on DebianStretch does not seem to have this package available
    • DebianBuster based distros can get the package trough backports, as outlined in point 2.
RaspberryPI OS (formerly Raspbian) Can be upgraded to run with a 64bit kernel
  • Symptoms
    • 502 errors in Jellyfin as seen in linuxserver/docker-jellyfin#71​
    • Error starting framework core messages in the docker log for Plex. linuxserver/docker-plex#247​
    • No WebUI for Radarr, even though the container is running. linuxserver/docker-radarr#118​
    • Images based on our Nginx base-image(Nextcloud, SWAG, Nginx, etc.) fails to generate a certificate, with a message similar to error getting time:crypto/asn1/a_time.c:330
    • docker exec <container-name> date returns 1970

What is lscr.io

LSCR is a vanity url for our images, this is provided to us in collaboration with scarf.sh. It is not a dedicated docker registry, rather a redirection service. As of writing it redirects to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io).
Aside from giving us the ability to redirect to another backend, if necessary, it also exposes telemetry about pulls, historically only available to the backend provider. We base some decisions on this data, as it gives us a somewhat realistic usage overview (relative to just looking at pulls on DockerHub).
We have some blog posts related to how we utilize Scarf:

I cannot connect to lscr.io

Due to the nature of Scarf as a Docker gateway which gathers usage metrics, some overzealous privacy-focused blocklists will include its domains.
If you want to help us in getting a better overview of how people use our containers, you should add gateway.scarf.sh to the allowlist in your blocklist solution.
Alternatively, you can use Docker Hub or GHCR directly to pull your images, although be aware that all public registries gather user metrics, so this doesn't provide you with any real benefit in that area.
If Scarf is on the blocklist, you will get an error message like this when trying to pull an image:
Error response from daemon: Get "https://lscr.io/v2/": dial tcp: lookup lscr.io: no such host
This is, however, a generic message. To rule out a service-interruption, you should also see if you can resolve the backend provider.
Using dig:
dig ghcr.io +short
dig lscr.io +short
Using nslookup:
nslookup ghcr.io
nslookup lscr.io
If you only got a response from ghcr, chances are that Scarf is on the blocklist.

I want to reverse proxy an application which defaults to https with a self-signed certificate

Traefik

In this example, we will configure a serverTransport rule we can apply to a service, as well as telling Traefik to use https on the backend for the service.
Create a ServerTransport in your dynamic Traefik configuration; we are calling ours ignorecert.
http:
serversTransports:
ignorecert:
insecureSkipVerify: true
Then on our foo service we tell it to use this rule, as well as telling Traefik the backend is running on https.
- traefik.http.services.foo.loadbalancer.serverstransport=ignorecert
- traefik.http.services.foo.loadbalancer.server.scheme=https
