RPi version of this docker image #2

Closed wjcarpenter closed 2 years ago

First of all, thanks for your effort in publishing this to docker hub and for making the sources available on github.

Would it be possible for you to publish an ARM64 version of the image? Raspberry Pi is a fairly common platform for weather and other home automation stuff, but the image you published is only the AMD64 variant.

I made my own image by starting with your Dockerfile to run on an RPi 4 with Ubuntu Server 20.04. I made the following small changes:

I changed to an ARM64 variant of the base image: FROM phusion/baseimage:master (The tags for phusion/baseimage are a little quirky. :latest gets an AMD64 image from 2018. :0.11 from your Dockerfile gets a different AMD64 image, though it's newer than :latest. :latest-arm64 gets an image from late May 2019, and :master and :master-arm64 get an image from June 2019. So, :master seems to be the best cross-platform tag at the moment.

I added these package installations, which are needed for the Pillow-PIL step. (I don't know if they are all needed. I took the list from the Pillow-PIL installation instructions. Before that, I was doing them one at a time based on complaints during docker build.)

RUN apt-get install -y libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev libopenjp2-7-dev zlib1g-dev
RUN apt-get install -y libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python3-tk
RUN apt-get install -y libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev libxcb1-dev

Thanks again.

Just chiming with a 'me too' on an ancient issue, but with an updated ask.

I'm running the 64-bit Raspi OS that came out on 2022-01-28 which reports "aarch64" to the 'arch' command. This requires rebuilding your image after editing the Dockerfile to use phusion/baseimage:master and the result was apt did the right thing during a 'docker build' and the resulting image works fine.

With the pi moving to 64-bit finally it would be helpful if you could build for that too, or alternately perhaps a quick README or wiki note for the inevitable problem reports that are going to start coming up.

Thanks for a nice image. Pretty cool.

Thank you, @wjcarpenter and @vinceskahan for this. My Github notifications were wrong so I am just seeing this, believe it or not.

Would you guys give the image tag 4.9.0-multi a try to see if it works for you? I am not an expert in this yet, but will work it until I get it.

vinceskahan commented 2 years ago

I think you maybe forgot to push the (new) tag to github, as I don't see that tag available. I can't test this one any more as I don't have any unavailable pi4 currently, but thanks for the image. I know a lot of folks seem to use it. Pretty cool.

Hmm. Looks like it's there to me?

aaaah - I was looking for the tag on github in the sources, not on docker hub for built images. That explains I guess....

@tomdotorg I would test this for you, but I no longer run weewx here. I still appreciate your efforts for when I did run it in the past, though!

tomdotorg commented 2 years ago

@wjcarpenter and @vinceskahan I can't believe that after two years, you aren't just sitting around waiting to test this! j/k. Thanks for submitting these issues.
