That's all fine and dandy for the software you build, but then if it happens that the easiest way to get some job done is to extend an existing docker image or using an existing docker image in a multistage build, you might trip over the fact that the authors of those other images didn't care enough about your arch of choice to cross compile their stuff.
- lsllc 8y agoI've build & run docker on arm and used it to build my own arm based docker containers from scratch, but yeah, 99.9% of containers intel only. Having said that, docker is perfectly usable on arm, just no one bothers to.
- ithkuil 8y agoYeah docker was just an example of modern binary dependencies. We tend to forget that kind of pain since many modern languages strongly favour source dependencies (every user of a library ends up compiling it from sources).
