Add support for ARM64

[wearemassive]

The app will currently not run on a ARM64 platform (raspberry pi), it errors out with a exec format error. I believe it's because the version of python used is not built with ARM support by default.

docker-library/python#798 talks about the issue.

I'd love to run the project, but my little home-lab RPI is not able to join in the fun.

I like the idea, did you try to build it locally?
We will need to build all containers for this architecture in order to work properly.

Adding this to the pipelines is still in progress.

Meanwhile you can test it using theese images:

• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-backend/204055346?tag=test-multi-platform
• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-static/204057846?tag=test-multi-platform
• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-frontend/204072800?tag=test-multi-platform

You can define them directly into your local .env file

API_VERSION=test-multi-platform
API_REMOTE=ghcr.io/snypy/snypy-backend
STATIC_REMOTE=ghcr.io/snypy/snypy-static

UI_VERSION=test-multi-platform
UI_REMOTE=ghcr.io/snypy/snypy-frontend

I wanted to test this with my raspberry pi, but it is appereantly running on arm7

I get however also some details after the docker compose pull

WARNING: Some service image(s) must be built from source by running:

I will try to extend the supported builds using buildx, it should be possible however to run docker compose build locally.

QEMU is also required on Linux in order to build arm/v6 and arm/v7

The new builds are now compatible with arm/v7

• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-frontend/220319012?tag=test-multi-platform
• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-static/220319020?tag=test-multi-platform
• https:/snypy/snypy-docker/pkgs/container/snypy-backend/220757929?tag=test-multi-platform

I was now able to run the all containers on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B ARM-Cortex-A53

Here is also an exmaple docker-compose.override.yml

version: "3"

services:
  api:
    environment:
      ALLOWED_HOSTS: "192.168.178.34"

    volumes:

  static:
    ports:

  ui:
    environment:
      REST_API_URL: "http://192.168.178.34:8000"
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

  mail:
    image: msztolcman/sendria:v2.2.2.0
    ports:
      - "1080:1080"

We might need to look for an alternative to sendria that supports arm64 and arm/v7

I was also able to run the containers on arm64 using an VPS 1000 ARM G11
