Geckodriver doesn't open in aarch64 server

Question

I have an always free Oracle Cloud instance with aarch64 architecture. I'm trying run a basic selenium script, but I'm having problems using geckodriver with selenium.

uname -m
aarch64

Here's my code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import FirefoxOptions
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service

print("init")
options = FirefoxOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
service = Service(executable_path="/usr/local/bin/geckodriver")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, service=service)
print("Driver ok")
driver.get("https://python.org")
print(driver.title)
driver.close()

I got this error when I try to run it (it stucks trying to open the geckodriver for about 2 minutes and then throw the exception):

python3 prueba.py

    return self._sock.recv_into(b)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
