@Marvin what causes this error when running a job “panic: fork/exec /usr/local/bin/prefect: exec format error”

The error "panic: fork/exec /usr/local/bin/prefect: exec format error" typically occurs due to attempting to run a binary that was built for a different architecture than the system executing it. This can happen when a binary built for one architecture (such as ARM) is run on another (such as x86). Here are a few steps to troubleshoot: 1. Verify Binary Compatibility: Ensure that the
prefect
binary is compiled for the architecture of your system. 2. Check Docker Images: If running inside a Docker container, ensure that the Docker image is appropriate for the host system's architecture. 3. Rebuild or Get Correct Binary: Obtain a version of the
prefect
binary that matches your system architecture if necessary. You might find the following GitHub issue relevant, as it discusses Docker containers and potential mismatches in architectures: - Docker containers are kept open when they crash. By ensuring compatibility between the binaries and the host system, you can avoid such errors. Feel free to ask if you need further assistance or details.
