Docker build for linux/arm and support for raspberry pi

[kubek93]

Hi everyone,

Two days I'm trying do something and run verdaccio on my raspberry pi 3. I'm newbe with docker but I'm still learning and have a question.

Why if vardaccio based on node:12.16.2-alpine which is supporting linux/arm does not support ARM processors? Are there exists some needed packages for linux which are not compatible installed using this command:

RUN apk --no-cache add openssl ca-certificates wget && \
    apk --no-cache add g++ gcc libgcc libstdc++ linux-headers make python && \
    wget -q -O /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub && \
    wget -q https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.25-r0/glibc-2.25-r0.apk && \
    apk add glibc-2.25-r0.apk

Or what is the reason of that? I don't want to waste more time for trying run in and needs your help and opinion if it is possible.

I have no clue, I'd rather go try in a specific forum for raspberry pi, docker or node-alpine contributors. We hardly can help you with this topic. We just rely on tools, but we ignore the abstraction behind of such tooling.

Thank you for the quick response, it's clear. I just thought you know about this limitations. If I find something I will put the information here.

Thanks, unfortunately not many people play extreme sports with verdaccio, but, I'll wait for your outcome, maybe others are running in the same limitation.

does not support ARM processors

Can you clarify where it says that it does not work on arm architecture?
Are there any errors and is something not working?

I managed to make this work on my raspberry pi 4.

my docker compose:

version: "3"
services:
  verdaccio:
    build: .
    container_name: verdaccio
    network_mode: host
    environment: 
      - VERDACCIO_PORT=4873
      - VERDACCIO_PROTOCOL=http
    ports:
      - 4873:4873
    volumes:
      - ./storage:/verdaccio/storage
      - ./conf:/verdaccio/conf
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  verdaccio:
    driver: local

my dockerfile:

FROM arm32v7/node:12.16.2-alpine

RUN npm install --global verdaccio

EXPOSE $VERDACCIO_PORT

CMD verdaccio --config /verdaccio/conf/config.yaml --listen $VERDACCIO_PROTOCOL://0.0.0.0:$VERDACCIO_PORT

Before running ensure to create the conf folder and the config.yaml file exists
