Rucio client for ARM (M1) processors? #143

Closed tamasgal closed 2 years ago

tamasgal commented 3 years ago

With reference to https://github.com/ESCAPE-WP2/Rucio-Client-Containers/issues/34 it seems that the main problem is that there is no aarch64 version of the Docker image. This causes problems with at least the libgfal_plugin_gridftp.so library which is required to upload files, therefore, this functionality is not working when using e.g. a Mac(Book) with an M1 chip, which are getting more and more popular.

Is this a known issue? Are there any plans to offer cross-compiled arm64 images?

Hi, not much we can do here. I've created a ticket in the GFAL issue tracker: https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/DMC-1255

Hi @tamasgal, as mentioned on the DMC Jira, it seems that Fedora builds EPEL for ARM by default, so the GFAL packages should be in there already.

OK thanks, this means that we need to rebuild the Rucio container in our ESCAPE repository.
