waiting for a docker arm image

[pblgomez]

I created a Dockerfile that works on arm32v7

https://github.com/pblgomez/PodSync-Armv6-Docker

with build.sh it install latest Podsync and builds the docker image

Thanks a lot! I have been waiting for this for a few weeks. I have just built the image in my rpi4 and it works like a charm!!! :)

[pblgomez]

I waited too, but couldn't wait any longer jejeje. Hope @mxpv uses this and makes a official arm docker.

Hi. @pblgomez thanks for the reference. I'll get to this eventually :)

@pblgomez Hi! First of all, thank you very much. The build process went fine. But I ran into an issue at startup.

[pblgomez]

Yes, I tried too and it fails, something changed in this latest release. Try to build it with v2.0.7 @mxpv Can you tell me what changed level=fatal msg="failed to open database" error="could not mkdir database dir: mkdir db: permission denied" Glad I could help

The problem exist with 2.1.0 and newer.

@melgu There's a branch on my github to keep using 2.0.7 till this is fixed. Use that one till then. ;)

I just programmed my first python app https://github.com/pblgomez/ptsooy Maybe it works for you too. You can download your own subscriptions and it make everything else like podsync. Try it please.

[tuxpeople]

You could do this with a multi stage Dockerfile:

FROM golang:alpine AS builder
LABEL stage=builder
WORKDIR /workspace
COPY . .
RUN go build -o /bin/podsync ./cmd/podsync

FROM alpine:3.10
WORKDIR /app/
RUN wget -O /usr/bin/youtube-dl https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/latest/download/youtube-dl && \
    chmod +x /usr/bin/youtube-dl && \
    apk --no-cache add ca-certificates python ffmpeg tzdata
COPY --from=builder /bin/podsync .
CMD ["/app/podsync"]

Actually, the second part is the current podsync Dockerfile. Except for the COPY, as I had to adjust it to copy the binary from the builder part. You can now do this: docker buildx build -t podsync-test --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v6,linux/386 .

But you need to have buildx activated. However, it currently fails because youtube-dl is currently offline due to DMCA. But if you remove the wget and the chmod line and add youtube-dl to the apk line, it works.

• https://medium.com/@artur.klauser/building-multi-architecture-docker-images-with-buildx-27d80f7e2408

However, as I really need the arm build, I'll use this in the meantime:

Dockerfile:

FROM golang:alpine AS builder
# PODSYNC_VERSION can be changed, by passing `--build-arg PODSYNC_VERSION=<new version>` during docker build
ARG PODSYNC_VERSION=v1
ENV PODSYNC_VERSION=${PODSYNC_VERSION}
LABEL stage=builder
WORKDIR /workspace
RUN wget -O - https://github.com/mxpv/podsync/archive/${PODSYNC_VERSION}.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip-components=1
RUN go build -o /bin/podsync ./cmd/podsync

FROM alpine:3.12
WORKDIR /app/
RUN apk --no-cache upgrade && apk --no-cache add ca-certificates ffmpeg tzdata youtube-dl
COPY --from=builder /bin/podsync .
CMD ["/app/podsync"]

Commands:

PCURVERSION=$(curl -s https://github.com/mxpv/podsync/releases/ | grep tree -m 1 | cut -d'"' -f2 | cut -d'/' -f5)
docker buildx build --push -t tdeutsch/podsync:latest -t tdeutsch/podsync:${PCURVERSION} -t tdeutsch/podsync:$(echo ${PCURVERSION} | cut -d'.' -f-2) --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v6,linux/arm/v7,linux/386 --build-arg PODSYNC_VERSION=${PCURVERSION} .

Find my (above explained) stuff in a bit changed way here: https://github.com/tuxpeople/docker-podsync

This is what I use currently till we get the official ARM Image :-D

@mxpv I have no idea about goreleaser but saw this here and thought about a pull request: https://carlosbecker.com/posts/multi-platform-docker-images-goreleaser-gh-actions/

However, this would end up in different tags for the different archs. And I'm not a fan of that. This here would "fix" that: https://namiops.medium.com/golang-multi-arch-docker-image-with-github-action-b59a62c8d2bd

But in this case you would have to move the image build from goreleaser into the github workflow. Would that be okay for you?
