Silverpeas official image for ARMv8 aarch64

[khasim]

Hi,

Silverpease works for ARMv8 after setting JAVA_HOME to point to arm64 version,

ENV JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-arm64/

Can I submit a PR to set JAVA_HOME based on architecture ?

Regards, Khasim

Hi @khasim,

I have a concern about this. How did you verify working of Silverpeas on arm64v8?

Did Silverpeas build for you without any errors except JAVA_HOME, or have you done any other changes too?

Can you post some relevant data to confirm the working of this package?

Hello @odidev

Here is what I followed to build

Please let me know what issue you are facing,

Well @khasim , I am surprised to see a successful build for silverpeas.

I can clearly observe issue in this command: silverpeas assemble

while fetching JackRabbit package for both AMD64 & ARM64 architectures.

Now I wonder how it built for you.

[odidev]

Hi @khasim ,

If your package is building and running fine then can you raise a PR for ARM64v8 ? Then we can see whether it goes ahead or not.

In addition, going by very low activity for this package I wonder how much time will be taken to resolve your PR. But still give it a try.

You will be required to raise a PR at this link as well w.r.t. to arm64v8 https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/blob/master/library/silverpeas

@khasim - 1 more thing... Can you post complete build logs for silverpeas over arm64v8?

Hi khasim, You've succeeded to build Silverpeas for the arm64v8 architecture and that sounds great. However, could you confirm that Silverpeas runs fine in such an architecture?

Beside that, according the Official Image doc, the ARM64v8 isn't supported officially by the Docker Team and the support of additional architectures requires supplementary work and constrains; so, to be honest, for just a little bit of users I'm not sure eventually to accept such a PR.

@mmoqui Hi Miguel,

I do agree with the concerns raised by you.

Regarding demand for ARM64, I would say that most of the Docker modules have started to work in the direction of ARM64 as it is getting popular in the market.

I appreciate your position and what you said above makes sense. The only thing that I would add would be to comment for people possibly experimenting with silverpeas on Raspberry PIs or even larger systems like ThunderX (96 cores via packet.net which are cheap and efficient)

I would hope that people will be able to build this themselves without too much extra trouble but here's additional information:

Shippable supports free Arm64 CI/CD and I believe Codefresh does too (both 64-bit and 32-bit for both providers):

If you need raw infrastructure the WorksOnArm project will supply full servers if you want to deal with metal: https://github.com/worksonarm/cluster/

Would really love to see SilverPeas on ARM! :)

In case you plan to change your mind and plan to support arm64v8, do let me know. Thank you again and I hope we can help generate demand for Silverpeas on Arm.

@mmoqui Hi Miguel, you make a good point but I'd like to point out that OwnCloud, Wordpress, and other related applications support arm64v8 along with all the major applications that top the official images list (nginx, alpine, busybox, httpd, redis, mongo, ubuntu, node, ...). I can't promise you a million users tomorrow if you support the architecture but the Arm community is wide spread and motivated so you may be surprised. Between the free resources and the fact that it's currently working I hope I can convince you to provide an image even if it's marked experimental? Thank you.

Hi @mmoqui

I have raised a PR at https://github.com/Silverpeas/docker-silverpeas-prod/pull/2, so that we have a set of changes required, in case you plan to silverpeas over arm64v8 in future.

Do let me know when you are ready to plan the same, as I will be ready to support you in every possible way in terms of platform/build/run verification.

Regards,

[mmoqui]

With the PR of odidev, from your proposition khasim, Silverpeas can now be built and ran on ARM64 architecture.
