Multi-Arch Images for e.g. Raspberry Pi
As the title already states, I'd love to see an arm64 build of this image. There are multiple ways of achieving this, either by using docker's buildx or using travis deployment with a build matrix. The advantage of the first variant would be multi-arch manifest which allows docker to pull the right image for the arch it is running on.
I'd really appreciate to see those images! Also a big thank you for your efforts so far :)
In my eyes, the easiest way would be to create multi-arch builds via GitHub Actions. I have solved this in one of my projects as follows:
name: Build Multi-Arch Docker Image
on:
push:
tags: "[1-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+"
jobs:
docker:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
-
name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
-
name: Set up QEMU
uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v1
-
name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
-
name: Login to DockerHub
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
-
name: Login to GitHub Container Registry
uses: docker/login-action@v1
with:
registry: ghcr.io
username: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
-
name: Get the version
id: get_version
run: echo ::set-output name=VERSION::${GITHUB_REF/refs\/tags\//}
-
name: Build and push
uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
with:
context: .
platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64
push: true
tags: |
docker.io/USERNAME/IMAGE_NAME:latest
docker.io/USERNAME/IMAGE_NAME:${{ steps.get_version.outputs.VERSION }}
ghcr.io/USERNAME/IMAGE_NAME:latest
ghcr.io/USERNAME/IMAGE_NAME:${{ steps.get_version.outputs.VERSION }}
The most important thing is that the base images and any packages and binaries are all available for the corresponding platform. Since I have already used MakeMKV on the PI, I know that it is executable on ARM64.
So if the image jlesage/baseimage-gui is available for ARM64 (if not then configure it too) the remaining effort should remain relatively moderate.
