Manifest List

"Manifest list" is the technically correct term for a multi-architectural docker container image.

Background

A single tag in a Docker registry (e.g. docker.io/ubuntu:bionic or docker.io/fnndsc/ubuntu-python3:latest) can refer to multiple images for different architectures. When a local docker engine executes docker pull or FROM in a Dockerfile, the correct image that matches the host's native architecture is used.

Images that use FROM fnndsc/ubuntu-python3:latest in their Dockerfile (most fnndsc/pl-* plugins for ChRIS) can also be built for multiple architectures. You can simply build the same Dockerfile on different hosts without modification, or follow the steps below to build cross-platform.

Note that Dockerhub cannot do autobuilds for non-x86_64 images.. Autobuilds from Dockerhub (again, most fnndsc/pl-*) are only for x86_64. fnndsc/ubuntu-python3 is built using Github Actions, which is a bit less convenient.

Local Build

Linux x86_64 (check with uname -sm) can use QEMU emulation to do cross-platform builds for foreign architectures.

First, make sure you have Docker CLI experimetnal features enabled. https://github.com/docker/buildx#docker-ce

docker run --rm --privileged aptman/qus -s -- -p ppc64le
docker buildx create --name moc_builder --use
docker buildx build -t fnndsc/ubuntu-python3 --platform linux/amd64,linux/ppc64le .
# clean up
docker buildx rm
docker run --rm --privileged aptman/qus -- -r
