Crossbuilding docker image for different architectures

Content & configuration

Docker image should work on most common processor architectures.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The image only works on the architecture with which it was built. Now docker image only works on x86-64 (maybe only x64). Docker image not working on Raspberry PI at least.

➜  ~ arch
armv7l
➜  ~ docker run -it swaggerapi/swagger-ui sh
standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"

➜  ~ arch 
x86_64
➜  ~ docker run -it swaggerapi/swagger-ui sh -c "echo 'works well'"
works well

Describe the solution you’d like

Something like

docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/386,linux/amd64,linux/arm/v6,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64,linux/ppc64le,linux/s390x \
  --output "type=image,push=false" \
  --file ./Dockerfile \
  --pull \
  --tag swaggerapi/swagger-ui:latest \
  .

Additional context

docker buildx imagetools inspect nginx:1.17-alpine Base image works on linux/amd64, linux/arm/v6, linux/arm64/v8, linux/386, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x. Swagger UI image not event annotated docker buildx imagetools inspect swaggerapi/swagger-ui

I wrote Github Actions pipeline for crossbuilding swagger-ui image to 386, amd64, arm/v6, arm/v7, arm64, s390x architectures. https://github.com/Pentusha/swagger-ui/blob/master/.github/workflows/docker_crossbuild.yml It publish result images to Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/pentusha/swagger-ui-crossbuild/general Its works fine on my raspberry pi 4.

arch; docker run -it pentusha/swagger-ui-crossbuild:latest sh -c 'echo "works well"'
armv7l
works well

Maybe you could include this build steps to your Jenkins pipelines.

Really love to see linux arm64 support. Since I am using an M1 macbook.
