Cannot create Debian (ARM) distrobox

I'm having troubles creating a debian image for ARM platform architecture. The prompt gives me three remote images to pull from and they all fail for different reasons. I want to build ARM binaries from my x86_64 Bezzite PC. Am I going about this the wrong way?

scilab:~$ distrobox create --image debian-toolbox:latest --platform arm --name pi
Image debian-toolbox:latest not found.

Solution
I've solved my own question. I hope that this is useful enough for the Bazzite team to add these steps to the website.
