docker: Remove Arch support from Debian-based container #484

Closed obbardc closed 6 months ago

obbardc commented 6 months ago

It turns out that trying to bootstrap an Arch system from Debian-packaged tools is quite hard since Arch moves much quicker than Debian Bookworm. Any upstream Arch churn can cause the Debos container build to break (this has happened twice now).

Since this really is an anti-pattern in Debos - we suggest building an OS image from the packages which make that OS - remove the Arch bits from the Debian Dockerfile to stop breakages. The hope is as time goes on we can create a separate Arch-based Dockerfile for Arch support.
