Failed to build Docker image on ARM architecture

Building of Docker image on ARM architecture (MacBook PRO with M1 chip in this case) fail with the following error:

Fix in #138.

[karelmaxa]

Issue is still not fixed because Maven's Alpine-based Docker image is not available for arm64.

[karelmaxa]

The issue cannot be easily fixed in this moment. We need Chrome / Chromium for FE tests executed through Puppeteer. Puppeteer itself is not able to install arm64 based Chromium (see puppeteer/puppeteer#7740). So i tried to install Chrome / Chromium in project-build Docker stage manually but there are some issues :

• Ubuntu-based (version 22.04) Docker Image (3.8.7-eclipse-temurin-17)
  • Chromium –⁠ version installed from the official Ubuntu repository cannot be executed because it requires snap (Error: Command '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' requires the chromium snap to be installed), but snap is not working in Docker environment
  • Chrome –⁠ Chrome for Ubuntu 22.04 and arm64 architecture is not available (the latest supported version was published for Ubuntu 18.04)
• Alpine-based Docker Image (3.8.7-eclipse-temurin-17-alpine)
  • Image for arm64 architecture is not published (see Support alpine images for aarch64 adoptium/containers#158)

There are some third-party repositories with prebuilt Chrome browser for Ubuntu 22.04 and arm64 architecture but there is no guarantee of stability.

As this is only issue for the build stage I think we can go for Debian's Slim image and use OpenJDK package instead of Temurin. I hope there shouldn't be a problem with Chromium / Snap as well.

Fixed in #146. We are using Debian's Slim image with manually installed OpenJDK, Maven and Chromium. Docker Image is buildable on Apple's M1 chip.
