Can not download prebuilt images on Raspbian

[Porrumentzio]

I get these errors when trying to download the images:

$ docker pull grocy/grocy
Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: manifest for grocy/grocy:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

The error says that manifest was not found for grocy/grocy:latest

I downloaded the code from this repo and run the docker-compose commands, but I got this error:

After that, I run docker-compose build and docker-compose up -d and I have the containers running. Sorry for disturbing

Hi @Porrumentzio - no problem, thanks for mentioning this. The initial docker pull problem looks like it's because there's no latest tag applied to grocy-docker images.

There's some debate about whether having a latest tag is a good idea or not; to begin with grocy-docker images are taking the approach that there are specific image versions, and within each version tag the images should correspond to a release of grocy itself - sometimes with minor version releases if the build process is updated.

The exec format error messages look like they're related to architecture differences; the images were build for amd64 and my guess is that you're running Raspbian on an arm architecture of some kind?

I've opened issue #105 to track progress against building grocy-docker images for multiple architectures.

[Porrumentzio]

Yes, I use ARM architecture. Say me if you want me to try something out on ARM architecture!

Hi @Porrumentzio - thanks for the offer to help. Could you try docker pull grocy/grocy:multiarch when you have time, and see if that works?

(this should retrieve an experimental multi-architecture build of grocy-docker that includes ARM platform support)

[jayaddison]

I've removed the experimental multiarch image since it was based on the v3.0.1-8 Dockerfiles, and those are now out-of-date. When a multi-architecture image is published again, we should consider adding a more descriptive version tag (and possibly automating the process?)

Hi again @Porrumentzio - this should be resolved by #156; the Docker Hub images for grocy-docker are now built for multiple architectures, including Arm-based systems. Any help testing and confirming the functionality is welcome.
