- selfhoster11 5y agoThe pi3 CPU used an older ARM spec, which had issues with producing good binaries for e. g. Go-based builds (I remember that quite vividly). Beyond that, I can only hypothesize that Docker on non-x86_64 (or multiarch Docker, in general), was very difficult to kick-start for whatever reason. This may have been compounded by the fact that Docker wasn't as broadly adopted by hobbyists back then, so demand for ARM builds want that great.
