This is needed for docker driver support on raspberry pi 4 and on apple silicon macs, as well as being good for portability. More and more cloud providers offer arm-based servers now: https://www.arm.com/blogs/blueprint/optimizing-data-center |
|
Once the custom packages are out of the way and the images are streamlined, this won't be too hard to do (except buildx) There is one image for "arm32v7", like the Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) a.k.a. And one image for "arm64v8", like the Raspberry Pi 4 hardware (64-bit) |

I was able to get it starting on the Raspberry Pi, which is ARM hardware. Found some other weird bugs in the process... https://github.com/afbjorklund/minikube/tree/kicbase-armv7 https://github.com/afbjorklund/minikube/tree/kicbase-arm64 First have to "allow" running on non-amd64, and then work around issues #9248 and #9252 if runtime.GOARCH != "amd64" {
return registry.State{Error: fmt.Errorf("docker driver is not supported on %q systems yet", runtime.GOARCH), Installed: false, Healthy: false, Fix: "Try other drivers", Doc: docURL}
}

Also the emoji are missing from the default terminal (LXTerminal). Installing "fonts-noto-color-emoji" didn't fix it. The emoji do work in e.g. a text editor, but I think the terminal emulator from the LXDE desktop doesn't provide.

Yeah, I deleted that pinning an just installed podman2 instead. We need to get that working sometime anyway. But it’s not a major issue to build podman1 (and cri-o if needed) for ubuntu 20.04 arm64. I used pbuilder to do it. See #8063 (comment) for how it was built |

Will do some rebasing of the current images/Dockerfile from the latest one... We dropped the kindbase (and forked it), so that is not needed anymore. We can do some tagging hack, to just use the regular name of the base: And then make sure that it is actually pulling the right architecture image:
https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu?tab=tags&page=1&name=focal This is so that we can cross-build everything from a regular amd64 machine. You will need buildx / buildkit and a local registry in order to do that, though... |

Most things seem to working, after patching some built-in "exit" calls and so on. KIND is also working on this (support for ARM): kubernetes-sigs/kind#166 |

This was released earlier this month. |
Once we have cleaned up the kicbase image and started to use regular packages, we can build for other architectures too.
So we can have both
amd64andarm64variants.Currently it is quite the mess to do it, since the docker daemon doesn't support architectures (only buildx and registry does)
But it is doable, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS supports both arch.
