docker driver not available for arm

[jinnko]

Describe the bug
The docker driver plugin is not built for arm.

To Reproduce

1. Install plugin
2. Attempt to enable it fails

Expected behavior
Installation of the docker driver should be available for armhf (v6) and armv7 separately.

Environment:

• Infrastructure: Raspberry Pi 1B
• Deployment tool: docker plugin install

Screenshots, Promtail config, or terminal output
After installing the plugin I can locate the where it was installed on the host and confirm the binary is amd64:

root raspbian 526ef6991bda689b9366b9cb42ef0de340df8ffce3c6ef54733f547ad96f6727/rootfs # file bin/docker-driver          
bin/docker-driver: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, Go BuildID=_C73CR2hWYzGIDtfNmpI/jzywKWZHB9Smms3iART_/ntWm_ro6ZV8my2ZmxTAG/Mv_PlaBpdJ4D59Ye0E37, stripped

Would also very much like to see offical ARM plugin.

Also discussed here #974

We seems to have struggles to get this into a CI.

@slim-bean can you push some ARM tag in the meantime for everyone waiting please?

Is there any update on this?

[hemna]

Would really like to have this for my rpi.

Hello everyone !

To unstuck you I've built and pushed 3 images that you can use:

• linux-386
• arm-v7
• arm-64

I wasn't able to build armv6 but if someone really needs it, I can dig a bit more.

Hope this helps.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity in the past 30 days. It will be closed in 7 days if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Would love to see this be part of the regular builds to keep my docker deploy scripts the same across architectures. Using the arm64 build works for now though.

Just ran into this issue as well. Any plans to officially include ARM builds? It was initially requested about 18 months ago I think, and ARM will continue to proliferate.

[guvmao]

I posted an linux/arm64/v8 tag you can use in the meantime.

docker plugin install miacis/loki-docker-driver:latest --alias loki --grant-all-permissions

---

Currently, latest is not the latest tag, but due to my laziness and avoiding some potential issues, I have pushed a newer version with tag 2.9.1. You can use the following command to obtain the newer version.

docker plugin install miacis/loki-docker-driver:2.9.1 --alias loki --grant-all-permissions

+1 on this.

Getting this completed would be a win for people using the deploying code on the Graviton and Ampere platforms and developing code on the Apple Silicon platform. There are cost savings that can be acquired with ARM64 but many of us are blocked or having to apply hacky adhoc builds for the support.

Just want to add to what @nepeat said above. My organisation just bought several Apple Silicon macs for devs, and we've seen a number of projects which provide docker images not providing ARM ones. From comments above (#1973 (comment) and #1973 (comment)), it appears technically possible to produce the plugin for ARM, and if I knew how to I would, but for me and everyone else who doesn't know how to do it, it'd be much appreciated if ARM images were made available. Especially since the builds others are posting here are not being kept up to date, and I'd prefer to use images from an official source anyway.

Failing that, some official instructions on how to build for ourselves would be helpful!
