Hi,  
When i try to run kibana on ppc64le it gives me this

```
[root@p006vm32 kibana]# docker run -it kibana:7.6.0
unable to find usable node.js executable.

```

I have built kibana:7.6.0 image using centos:7 as the base image

```auto
FROM centos:7 AS prep_files
COPY --from=prep_files --chown=1000:0 /usr/share/kibana /usr/share/kibana
COPY --chown=1000:0 bin/kibana-docker /usr/local/bin/
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/dumb-init", "--"]
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/kibana-docker"]

```

Any leads will be appreciated. Thank you.

Elastic offers official docker builds for Kibana that should be usable out of the box - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html)

Is it possible for you to use those instead?

Those are x86 images and are not supported on power. Is there any other way?

@aishwaryabk we ship the node binary for each platform within the kibana distributable in the folder `KIBANA_ROOT/node`. In order to get it run in the platform you want to, when building your image you need to replace the contents of the `node` folder with the ones that you can download here [https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/node-v10.19.0-linux-ppc64le.tar.gz](https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/node-v10.19.0-linux-ppc64le.tar.gz)

Hope that helps

Do you mind sharing why you're interested in running on POWER?
