Docker Openfast 5.0.0 image Incompatibility with AMD64 architectures

[arturodmor]

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble running an OpenFAST simulation inside a Docker container. The OpenFAST 5.0.0 Docker image appears to support only ARM64 architectures, according to the image manifest.

I would like to use version 5.0.0 because my input files have already been updated for that version. However, I'm currently unable to run the container on my system and I'm not sure what the best approach would be.

Has anyone encountered this issue before or found a workaround?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @arturodmor,

Thanks for pointing this out!

I've rebuilt and pushed ghcr.io/openfast/openfast:5.0.0 (and :latest) as a proper multi-arch manifest. It now resolves on both architectures.

Please pull the updated image and test it. I've also updated the docker build workflow to push both AMD64 and ARM64 images.

Thanks,
Mayank

Thanks @mayankchetan, I was now able to pull and deploy a container without any problems!

Glad it's working!

Curious to know your workflow with the openfast containers, if that's something you can share.

Feel free to email me if you prefer at mayank.chetan[at]nlr.gov
