[steelhead31]

All Dockerhosts - ( Problem identified on Ubuntu, s390x. ppc64le ( & potentially others ), see issue #3234

Delete as appropriate from this list:

• Change to existing role/tasks

Details:

Update the dockerhost playbooks, so that the installation of docker includes all of the mandatory components specified in the installation guide ( in particular the docker-buildx-plugin ) as detailed in this example

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

What is the change that means this has only just been seen? If we're going to have a playbook update we need to log it along with the requirement that triggered it.

I believe something has happened within the gradle builds that use docker.. the following error is now thrown which has not been seen before... the root cause of this is a change made to Docker Engine v23 and later. Prior to v23, the default option for "docker build" was to use the regular docker-build plugin installed by default, post v23, the default has been changed to the docker-buildx plugin, which needs installing separately as per notes on this page: https://docs.docker.com/build/architecture/

The following line in the gradle build is responsible

commandLine "docker", "build", "--no-cache",
                "--build-arg", "IMAGE=arm32v7/debian:bullseye",
                "-t", "adoptium-packages-linux-jdk-debian",
                "-f", "Dockerfile",

Hmmm interesting - thanks.

(Although it's slightly strange that it doesn't automatically pull in what I'd say are quite important dependencies 🤷🏻 )
