Support for aarch64?

[markbeierl]

With a number of images (node, nginx, etc) now being runnable on multiple architectures can we add support for ARM (specifically aarch64) in this image?

Not really sure if python/cffi/cairo integration will work on aarch64. But probably that's possible.

Assume the opposite: Why shouldn't work it? 😉

I'm also running on aarch64. As the phusion image is not available for architectures other than amd64, you have to build it manually yourself. Changed with #66 .

Just a simple clone and build of both repositories in the right order will suffice:

git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/docker-graphite-statsd
docker build -t  graphiteapp/graphite-statsd docker-graphite-statsd

And you should have a working graphite image.

Yeah, the problems about distribution and automated building are still unsolved, but at least you've got a working image then. Also on an Odroid C2, it takes just 8 minutes for alpine Linux. 20 minutes to build all images from scratch . This might not be feasible on every single board computer. (I don't want to know how long it'll take on a raspi). But as long dockerhub isn't supporting a way to automatically build aarch64 images, it might be the single possible way.

Thanks, @bebehei, it's good to know that at least possible. My skepticism was mostly related to cross-compiling aarch64 docker image on amd64.

Fixed in current master
