You need to use a Colima VM with x86_64 architecture. Use “colima list” to show all your profiles (VMs). You can manage the profiles with the colima CLI. See https://github.com/abiosoft/colima for questions regarding colima. Thanks.

I tried Colima start as suggested with the 2 options and get this error now
Use “colima [command] –help” for more information about a command.

Any help you can provide to get my oral instance running will be appreciated. I spent too many hours without success

I used Docker Desktop for the ORDS container.

However, it should work with Colima.

Please make sure you run ORDS in a VM with aarch64 architecture. With Colima, you can create multiple profiles (VMs). In my case, it looks like this

$ colima list
PROFILE    STATUS     ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK     RUNTIME    ADDRESS
default    Stopped    x86_64     2       4GiB      60GiB               
m1         Stopped    aarch64    2       4GiB      60GiB

The OracleDB container would run with the “default” profile and the ORDS container with the “m1” profile with aarch64 architecture. This way you avoid all kinds of weird errors due to the slow CPU emulation.

See https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/discussions/609 if you have problems switching contexts locally.
