Common Issues and FAQ

Does it work on Enterprise Linux 8 or 9?

No. Due to the glibc version, Spotify requires a newer version. If you are using Enterprise Linux, use version 10 or higher.

Does it work on AArch64?

The Spotify client does not have a native AArch64 binary for Linux.

It should work with an emulator (BOX64 or FEX), but this has not been tested.

Currently, this container does not generate AArch64 RPMs.

However, the container is compatible with AArch64, and it is possible to generate x86_64 RPMs using an AArch64 device. See more.
