Fresh Ubuntu 22.04.2 arm64 install, trying to follow the Docker for Desktop installation instructions from the docker docs and its failing with unmet dependencies, see below. I updated everything and validated the dependencies are present on the system, rather frustrating.
parallels@vm01-ubuntu-local:~$
sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-4.30.0-amd64.deb
[sudo] password for parallels:

Note, selecting ‘docker-desktop:amd64’ instead of ‘./docker-desktop-4.30.0-amd64.deb’
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
docker-desktop:amd64 : Depends: docker-ce-cli:amd64 but it is not going to be installed

That’s not goiing to work. The documentation clearly says only amd64 is supported
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/#supported-platforms
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/ubuntu/
Docker Desktop is supported on
x86_64
(or
amd64
) architecture.
You can’t download a package for amd64 and install it on arm64. So it is true when the error message says
wynd67:
libseccomp2:amd64 but
it is not installable
AMD was at least doing something… ARM however also fails and does so with no clue as to next steps.
parallels@vm01-ubuntu-local:~$ sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-4.30.0-arm64.deb

E: Unsupported file ./docker-desktop-4.30.0-arm64.deb given on commandline
Docker is not Docker Desktop. You can run Docker on arm, but if you tried to install Docker Desktop inside a virtual machine, that’s another problem as then you would need to have nested virtualization enabled.
But isn’t Parallels for macOS? If you want to run Docker Desktop on macOS, you can install Docker Desktop for Mac. If you want to install Docker on Linux on arm architecture, you can install Docker CE (Docker Engine).
