I have a problem and I don't know where to look for the problem. I'm running debian:buster and I'm trying to set it up as a jellyfin server.
I added the nessecary architecture (amd64).
user@server:~$ sudo dpkg --print-architecture
i386
user@server:~$ sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
amd64
arm64
I created a docker-compose file based on examples from the linuxserver.io/jellyfin documentation.
version: "2"
services:
jellyfin:
image: linuxserver/jellyfin:amd64-latest
container_name: jellyfin
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/Chicago
- UMASK_SET=022 #optional
volumes:
- /srv/jellyfin/cache/
- /srv/jellyfin/config/
- /media/nasdisk1/series/
- /media/nasdisk1/films/
- /media/nasdisk2/muziek/
ports:
- 8096:8096
- 8920:8920
restart: unless-stopped
When I do the sudo docker-compose up the container is attempting restarts and the logs of the container show:
standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "exec format error"
When I look at the logs of the daemon it has the following:

I have seen people online that said it had to do with the architecture, I have seen people who have suggested that it has to do with entrypoints in dockerfiles. I have tried googling all over, but I'm missing the necessary frame of reference to do this effectively.
What is going wrong here?
I found the answer by asking some smart people.
The error "exec format error" almost always refers to the architecture not being supported or other problems with it.
using dpkg to see architectures is not the correct way. It shows what architectures installed packages are allowed to use. Not what the host cpu architecture is.
sudo dpkg --print-architecture
i386
user@server:~$ sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
amd64
arm64
The arch command shows the host cpu architecture.
arch
i686
The problem is that i686 is a 32bit architecture while jellyfin and linux server only support 64bit architectures. I have by accident installed 32bit debian on my system instead of the 64bit one.
