ARM Support

[quaintdev]

Hello

I wanted to know if there are any plans to support arm platform? I want to run Jump over the Raspberry Pi so that I can access my dashboard on both mobile and laptop.

I previously had generated ARM images successfully but I am no longer able to do so. The error I am getting is below

 => ERROR [linux/arm64 builder 3/3] RUN composer install --no-dev   --optimize-autoloader   --no-interaction   --no-progress                                                                                   0.2s

I understand that arm images are not officially supported but any help or pointers in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd actually love to support ARM, I think hosting Jump on a Raspberry Pi is a pretty likely use case given the nature of what Jump was created for... a lightweight front end for a self-hosted environment.

It looks like building images that target ARM should be straight forward on an x86 device but the blocker for me right now is not having a Raspberry Pi to test on.

I'll keep this issue on the back burner for now until I get stuck into the 1.1.0 milestone and hopefully I'll work something out soon. I do intend to buy a Raspberry Pi soon but that might get not happen for a few months.

That error message references qemu, how are you trying to build the image? What platform and command are you running etc?

[daledavies]

Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue btw, it is encouraging to see people wanting to use Jump 😀

I am following this tutorial for Linux. I was able to successfully generate the image after a failed attempt few days back but now it's not working. The command that I used is docker buildx build --platform linux/arm,linux/arm64 -t quaintdev/jump . --push

Platform: Linux (Debian 11) amd64

I'll take a look and also keep you posted on the situation regarding arm images. Currently couldn't buy a Raspberry Pi anyway, completely sold out!

Running it on RPi 4B with DietPi OS
I have built an image for armv7 and arm64 https://hub.docker.com/r/justsky/jump

docker buildx build --push --platform linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64/v8 --tag justsky/jump .

version: '3'
services:
  jump:
    image: justsky/jump
    container_name: jump
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8321:8080
    volumes:
      -  $DOCKERDIR/jump/backgrounds:/backgrounds
      -  $DOCKERDIR/jump/sites:/sites
    environment:
      SITENAME: 'SkyPi'

Everything is running fine as far as I have tested.
This is a nice project. <3

[daledavies]

Awesome, thank you for testing this.

[quaintdev]

I can finally use this beautiful start page. Also, I appreciate how lite this is.

@daledavies and @just5ky Thanks!

Edit: I have tested this and it is working fine on RPi 2 which is armv7

[daledavies]

Amazing, thanks. I'll get buildx set up over the weekend and get an "official" arm build pushed to docker hub.

I'm interested if there should be a single multiarch image or separate images for ARM vs amd64. Maybe the "latest" tag should be multiarch with separate arch and version tags.

A few people have mentioned that they like that the image size is small so I'm concerned about the size of a multiarch image.

[just5ky]

@daledavies
You can have 1 multiarch image
No need for having separate tags for every arch

[daledavies]

I've built a multiarch image for the latest release... v1.1.2 and "latest" tags on Docker Hub. Let me know if this works for you :)
