ARM builds of docker image

[Qwertie-]

Looks like there are only x86 builds for the docker image. I have been getting some weird issues like segfaults on this container running on the M1 mac. In my experience the x86 emulation hasn't worked so well for docker.

Wondering if its possible to get ARM builds as well on docker hub?

Hi Qwertie- ,
Can you confirm you were not able to use the docker images with the --platform linux/amd64 flag?

We are also currently suffering from a related issue on an M1 mac:

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
Language en_US.UTF-8 is not supported. Please specify one of: go ruby csharp java python objc gogo php node web cpp descriptor_set scala
make: *** [build] Error 1

Works like a charm, I've also listed an alternative solution below.

You can set the environment variable DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM to linux/amd64. I found this much easier than constantly having to use the --platform flag on my M1 mac.

export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64

Works for me as well! Thanks

This does sort of work but in my experience the emulation it uses just doesn't work all that well. I can't really report a specific issue since I'm using this container in a non standard way. Was just putting up an issue to register interest in an ARM build since those are much preferable to use on the ARM macbooks. Feel free to close this if that's not desired though.

I modified the Dockerfile to get the build working on my ARM64 machine by updating the NODE_GRPC_TOOLS_VERSION variable and removing Scala, grpc-gateway, and grpc-web support from the build. This is just a temporary solution for me since I need ARM64 support and I'm not using those other features, but it would be nice if there was eventually an ARM64 version published by namely to Docker Hub.
