### Docker on ARM64 Architecture Installation and Configuration

For Debian-based systems, Docker Engine supports multiple architectures including `arm64`[^1]. The process of installing Docker on an ARM64 system closely mirrors that of other supported platforms but requires attention to specific details regarding package compatibility.

To ensure no conflicts arise from previous installations or updates, it's important to uninstall any older versions of Docker before proceeding with a new setup[^2].

#### Installing Required Packages

The installation begins by listing available Docker CE versions suitable for the target environment using commands such as:

apt-cache madison docker-ce | awk '{ print $3 }'

Once the desired version string has been identified—such as `5:27.3.1-1~ubuntu.24.04~noble`—the following command installs Docker along with its necessary components tailored specifically for this version:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce=$VERSION_STRING docker-ce-cli=$VERSION_STRING containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

This ensures all parts are synchronized at the same patch level, reducing potential issues during operation[^3].

#### Verification Post-installation

After completing the above steps, verifying successful deployment involves running a simple test image like so:

sudo docker run hello-world

If everything was set up correctly, this should pull down the test image and display confirmation messages indicating proper functionality within the newly installed Docker environment.

When deploying environments involving both ARM64 and possibly x86_64 nodes together, special considerations must be made concerning service images used across these different CPU types. For instance, when setting up clusters utilizing tools like KubeSphere over ARM servers, one might encounter challenges related to component availability due to differences in required binary formats between architectures[^5].
