Request for cross built linux/arm64 versions of Lagoon containers

I’m on a new “Apple Silicon” M1 MacBook Pro, which in theory can run amd64 containers in emulation, but it doesn’t seem to work. linux/arm64 containers run fine, and there are already a lot of linux/arm64 containers on Docker Hub.

As more and more developers move to the new Apple Silicon, this will affect more and more people.

Docker “buildx” command allows for cross-platform building, I’ll add some more links to this issue with some examples.

If the Amazee Lagoon container build repository is open source, I’d be very happy to fork and contribute, but I can’t find it linked from Docker Hub.

Lagoon Images are now fully ARM-compatible

@tobybellwood So, it was a heck of an adventure, but I got a functioning, minimalist stack of Lagoon + GovCMS containers running on my Apple M1 MBP! 🎉 🎉

I’ll put in some PRs where I can, and am really wanting to contribute as much as possible back, but in summary quite a lot of it was rebuilding some of the many small tools (mostly Go ones) to run on linux/arm64, and then using Docker Moby Buildkit to build linux/arm64 lower level images to base my containers off.

I’ve put a PR in for cross-compiling ahoy, and will put in more for docker-gen, envplate, dockerize, trivy, pygmy and the docker-haproxy image once I get proper multi-arch builds going for them.
