Add arm5/6/7 docker images

Based on the comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/ukhcae/scrutiny_beta_release_needs_testers_hard_drive/i7xv9w3/

Request to add other ARM arch's to the docker images (for me armv7)

[martini1992]

Also FYI getting an email when posting a new issue warning that "Label sponsors workflow run" failed, don't know if that is a misconfiguration of some Github settings.

Hey @martini1992 thanks for the PR.

This might be harder than I initially thought. There doesn't seem to be an arm32v7 binary for influxDB, and I really don't want to compile it from source.

[AnalogJ]

Also, thanks for the heads up regarding the Label sponsors workflow, I've fixed that issue.

[martini1992]

No problem, and yeah the lack of official builds does seem to be an issue. It might be worth compiling though (or using the repo listed in your link) because I can see people using (like me) ARMv7 NAS boards or the ever popular RaspberryPi, especially since (I assume) you plan to stop supporting the SQLite3 version.

Unless there could be a simple port back to influxdb 1.x which does support those older arch's, purely to allow those arch's to use this software.

[AnalogJ]

Yeah, the issue with using that unofficial pre-compiled package is that it will make my Dockerfile a lot more complicated.
I'd like to support this, but I may have to back-burner this issue for a bit (there's alot of UI related TODO's).

[martini1992]

OK, would a viable workaround be to run the collector on the ARMv7 machine and the web and db components on a separate x86_64 machine? In which case building ARMv7 etc images for the components you can might be worth it?

[AnalogJ]

Fair point. I've gone ahead and created linux/arm/v7 versions of the web and collector docker images. You could technically run the webapp and collectors on the ARM machine, and use a x86_64 (or cloudhosted) version of Influxdb.

[martini1992]

Excellent, thank you. You might want to update the compatibility table in the README.md and add a note about the lack of omnibus support.

Hello Gents,

Any update on the ARM7 support ?
I'm getting this error when I try to deploy using composer.

failed to deploy a stack: influxdb Pulling web Pulling collector Pulling web Error collector Error no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries

[AnalogJ]

Hey @Canhobix Scrutiny does create ARM7 images, however the InfluxDB image (maintained by the InfluxDB developers) does not have an ARM7 version, which is the failure you're seeing.

Though.. I just found:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/arm32v7/influxdb/
• https://hub.docker.com/r/arm64v8/influxdb/

Does one of those work for you?

[martadinata666]

After looking around armv7 support is influxdb v1.8, and the v2 only arm64 or amd64. Does scrutiny work with influxdb 1.8?

[AnalogJ]

Unfortunately not, Scrutiny requires InfluxDB v2

Hello AnalogJ,

I'm getting this error from both influxdb.
From the arm64v8 I got this: WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/arm64/v8) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm/v7) and no specific platform was requested
exec /entrypoint.sh: exec format error
From the arm32v7 I got this: docker: Error response from daemon: manifest for arm32v7/influxdb:2.0 not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown.

Thank you so much, I will wait to see if someone update the arm32v7 to 2.0

Cheers
