Error when run docker images in raspberry pi

Question

I managed to run this firefox docker container on a standard linux box based on this article, however when I installed docker on my raspberry pi, I get this error when I want to run the same:

docker: Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 2 desc = "oci runtime error: exec format error".

I've followed the instruction of a guy in the discussion:

Windows 7+

It's a bit easier on Windows 7+ with MobaXterm:

    Install MobaXterm for windows
    Start MobaXterm
    Configure X server: Settings -> X11 (tab) -> set X11 Remote Access to full
    Use this BASH script to launch the container

run_docker.bash:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

CONTAINER=py3:2016-03-23-rc3
COMMAND=/bin/bash
DISPLAY="$(hostname):0"
USER=$(whoami)

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --user=$USER \
    --workdir="/home/$USER" \
    -v "/c/Users/$USER:/home/$USER:rw" \
    -e DISPLAY \
    $CONTAINER \
    $COMMAND

On my pi this is the start script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

CONTAINER=creack/firefox-vnc
COMMAND=/bin/bash
#DISPLAY="$(hostname):1.0"
DISPLAY="CCKK4H2:0.0"
USER=$(whoami)

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --user=$USER \
    --workdir="/home/$USER" \
    -v "/c/Users/$USER:/home/$USER:rw" \
    -e DISPLAY \
    $CONTAINER \
    $COMMAND

This is how it worked for me on normal centos.

Any idea how to troubleshoot or what does this means?

On Raspberry PI, you can only run images designed to work on ARM architectures.

You can find some in the arm32v* repositories : arm32v6 or arm32v7.

If you want to create your own ARM compatible images, you must build the images from an ARM device (your Raspberry PI for example).
