arm support welcome #16

Closed Fohlen closed 6 years ago

Fohlen commented 6 years ago

Hey there @RobCherry I was thinking about offering cross-platform builds for arm. Since I am on OSX the toolchain is quite easy to set up (no QUEMU required). Would you like this to be supported? Would you mind pushing the images to the repository?

The aim here is to build a small aggregation tool that can work on my Raspberry Pi. That surely takes away a lot of hassle if it runs in a Docker container!

I would be all for integrating support for multiple architectures. That is not something I have attempting yet (using manifest-tool), and I am not sure if/how Docker Hub supports automatically building for those, but any contributions are welcome.

Thanks for coming back at me! After some research I do not think Docker provides multi-arch out of the box. Still, what can be done is:

use a label with a different Dockerfile
in that Dockerfile, use a ARM base image of debian
use Travis/OSX to build the image (this saves you from the hassle of setting up QUEMU etc)
push artifacts from Travis

I think for now I will likely just fork this repo and compile binaries myself, where needed. If we see there is a larger demand for people using ARM we might set up such a pipeline 👍 Thanks for the fast and positive reaction!

Sorry, didn't mean to close this.
