Building AARCH64 Alpine GLIBC based Docker image

[gridhead]

Hey @martinussuherman,

I did try executing your Dockerfile on my Pi 4 and the following was the result.

[alarm@alarm czip]$ docker build alpine-code-server/

We need to use the aarch64 variant for martinussuherman/alpine:glibc-3.12 to start with and package the aarch64 variant of the code-server.

[martinussuherman]

@t0xic0der yes, the base image arch must match for sure, mine was based on this one: https://github.com/jeanblanchard/docker-alpine-glibc which unfortunately for now, only have linux/amd64 arch. So we need to create linux/arm/v7 and/or linux/arm64/v8 image first to build upon.
Probably you could kindly ask jeanblanchard for helping us create the image?

Thanks and regards,

Martinus

I took the Dockerfile for a spin on my aarch64 installation without making any changes but it did not end up working. The changes required to the image are beyond my understanding so I would wait on @jeanblanchard to make them, before using them to build an Alpine-based code-server image.

[martinussuherman]

@t0xic0der I've managed to build glibc arm image on my x86_64 VPS, based on https://hub.docker.com/r/arm64v8/alpine and https://github.com/ljfranklin/alpine-pkg-glibc. I'll try to make it build on Docker Hub, hopefully by the end of this week.

Here are the screen output:

A few note:

• That one use alpine 3.13, will switch to 3.12 for the real build (since alpine 3.13 use node 14.x which cause problem with integrated terminal).
• The glibc package is unsigned, so have to use apk add --allow-untrusted glibc-bin.apk glibc.apk for building.

Regards,

Martinus

Glad to know about the update @martinussuherman. 😄

[martinussuherman]

@t0xic0der I've setup my repo here: https://github.com/martinussuherman/alpine-glibc with docker hub here: https://hub.docker.com/r/martinussuherman/alpine-glibc

I'm still unable to successfully build on Docker Hub:

@t0xic0der I've finally managed to build the alpine arm64v8 code-server docker image, using Github Actions. Please check and see if there's any problem on using it.
