support arm64 architecture

[longquan7]

I want to build this image on arm64 architecture but I'm not sure this tar.gz file can be support arm64 architecture. So the file of tar.gz whether or not support arm64.

Did you try it?

I am pretty sure that upstream docker images are based on x86. You should be able to fork this repo and replace FROM php:5.6-fpm with an equivalent arm image.

If you look at the php:5.6-fpm Dockerfile for instance, it inherits from FROM debian:jessie. If you want to deploy to 32bit ARM servers, like Scaleway C1, then you would need to use a different base image.

Looks like you need to change two parts of the piwik Dockerfile. The first line should be changed to FROM arm32v7/php:5.6-fpm and the x86_64-linux-gnu part needs to be changed to arm-linux-gnueabihf for the compilation to succeed.

I pushed an example with a readme file here: https://github.com/gardner/docker-piwik/blob/master/arm32v7/Dockerfile

It doesn't really fit with the existing docker-piwik build script so I'm not sure it deserves a pull request yet. Hopefully it helps you.

@gardner I want to support arm64v8 not arm32v7

[longquan7]

@gardner I was use arm64v8/php:5.6-fpm and the x86_64-linux-gnu changed to aarch64-linux-gnueabihf,but when RUN pecl install APCu geoip was tips:No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/APCu"and No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/geoip"

Yeah, it seems like arm support in docker really isn't great yet. I had trouble getting the fpm version working. I am not a maintainer of piwik, just an interested individual like yourself. I can't offer any more help because I don't have the time.

You are on the right path with arm64v8/php. I just can't go with you any further. Good luck!

[gardner]

Maybe the piwik maintainers like @michaelze or @tianon are interested in officially supporting arm.

@longquan7 I suggest doing tests with docker-compose and then submit a pull request to this repo. You can see examples here: https://github.com/gardner/docker-piwik/blob/master/arm32v7/docker-compose.yml

@pierreozoux When I was build on arm64 architecture, when "RUN pecl install APCu geoip",there is a problem that No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/APCu" and No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/geoip" .
