Hi folks!

I am encountering a weird behavior while running syncs. On one server running Docker, CloudQuery runs fine, whereas on another server for the same config and version, it fails. Can someone look into this anomaly?

Posting my config files here:

```yaml
kind: source
spec:
  destinations: ["duckdb"]
  name: "postgresql"
  path: "cloudquery/postgresql"
  registry: "cloudquery"
  spec:
    connection_string: "<abcd>?sslmode=disable"
  tables: ["*"]
  version: "v3.0.7"

```

Hi @fun-griffon, can you share the error you’re getting when it fails?

Hi Erez, sure.

That usually means the plugin binary doesn’t match the architecture of the container, so I would verify the servers are using the same architecture.

Oh, I see. I was assuming it to be the case, but thanks for clarifying. Also, how did you interpret the error? It’s something I couldn’t understand just by reading it.

`exec format error` is the hint.
