However, any image or container you want to run must be built for the arm64v8 architecture, most images like Ubuntu, Alpine etc.

Note that this will not be needed with GNS3 version >= 3.0, the server will automatically use the host busybox: GNS3/gns3-server#1908 Sudo cp /usr/bin/busybox /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/gns3server/compute/docker/resources/bin/busybox The workaround is to SSH to the GNS3 VM and type this command: Trying to run a container out of the box will result in an exec format error because the busybox binary that is distributed part of the GNS3 server package is compiled for the x86_64 architecture, not ARM. Launch GNS3 and use the VM as a remote server Go to the first adapter settings and make sure it is configured to be private Go back to the VM settings and add another device Go to the VM settings and add an additional device The GNS3 VM is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for ARM64 architecture (aarch64). It is not possible to import an OVA at the moment, see #3257 (comment) Installation on VMware Fusion Create a custom virtual machine See below for limitations, workarounds and other issues. VMware Fusion for M1 itself is just a preview. Please note this is EXPERIMENTAL, do not expect it to work like on Intel/AMD. I built a GNS3 VM for ARM which can run on Apple silicon M1.
