My error: seafile-controller: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Hello everyone, I’m installing seafile-server on ubuntu 20.04

    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
            Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-1070-oracle
      Architecture: arm64

The databases were created, everything is fine. However, I have a problem when starting it.

seafile@maq01:~/seafile-server-latest$ ./seafile.sh start

Starting seafile server, please wait ...
./seafile.sh: line 134: /opt/seafile/seafile-server-11.0.13/seafile/bin/seafile-controller: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I don’t know what to do to solve it. Below I’ll put the commands I used to install the dependencies.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip libmysqlclient-dev ldap-utils libldap2-dev
sudo apt-get install -y memcached libmemcached-dev

sudo pip3 install --timeout=3600 django==4.2.* future==0.18.* mysqlclient==2.1.* \
    pymysql pillow==10.2.* pylibmc captcha==0.5.* markupsafe==2.0.1 jinja2 sqlalchemy==2.0.18 \
    psd-tools django-pylibmc django_simple_captcha==0.6.* djangosaml2==1.5.* pysaml2==7.2.* pycryptodome==3.16.* cffi==1.15.1 lxml python-ldap==3.4.3

mysql is ok.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

The binary version can only work for x86 architecture. You should use the docker version build for Arm64.

Thanks for replying, I see.
So you mean that the version “Server for generic Linux
11.0.13 64bit” doesn’t work on 64bit architecture? Strange. I wasted hours trying to make it work lol. I’ll try with docker then. Thank you very much.
