Running Docker Container with emulated Architecture
You can use docker to run images with a different architecture using qemu emulation.
Prerequisites
There are a couple required packages for ubuntu which you can install with apt:
sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
or follow the docker documentation Show archive.org snapshot and use a docker image to add the requirements.
Running Images
Just use the --platform option with the architecture you want to use when starting an image:
docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 alpine uname -a
Check registered executable types
Verify that F is among the flags in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-* : cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-*
