The objective of this repository is to track the progress and pre-requisites to bring new applications and projects to PPC64 and PPC64le architecture. The bigger focus is on little-endian but big-endian could also be added.
If you want to start developing and run a PPC64le Virtual Machine, I've uploaded both Debian and Ubuntu versions that can be downloaded from the releases section.
There is also a guide if you want to build the VMs from scratch.
- Docker Community Edition
- K3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- Traefik Image
- Drone-CI CLI
- Kubernetes Dashboard
- Minio
- Grafana Loki
- Aquasecurity Trivy
Until there is an official package,I've built .deb and .rpm packages available in releases. All pre-requisites are already bundled in (containerd, runc, dockerd and docker-cli).
Unpack the .tar.gz file and install the packages with the distro tool (apt or yum).

- Add ppc64le to containerd-packaging repo - Issue#164
K3s is a highly available, certified Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads in unattended, resource-constrained, remote locations or inside IoT appliances.
K3s is packaged as a single <40MB binary that reduces the dependencies and steps needed to install, run and auto-update a production Kubernetes cluster.
Since K3s still does not provide ppc64le binaries or images, I've build the required pre-requisites and binaries to have a streamlined install on ppc64le architecture. Check the guide here to install on your host.
The guide also provides the process to build images and k3s.

The new Kubernetes dashboard is composed of the Dashboard front-end and the metrics-scraper. The Dashboard is already built for ppc64le but the scraper needs build support.
