wohali opened a new pull request #157: Add scripts to simplify creation of multiarch images
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/pull/157
 
 
   ## Overview
   
   The two new scripts represent the final step in the multi-architecture journey for the CouchDB Docker images.
   
   `./build.sh` includes the magic incantation necessary to build a CouchDB image on `x86_64` for another platform, such as `arm64v8` or `ppc64le`.
   
   `./build-manifest.sh` builds those images for all 3 platforms CouchDB supports today.
   
   **Note:** "Support" is defined by us running those machines in our CI infrastructure regularly. This is true today for `arm64v8` (aka `aarch64`) and is about to be true for `ppc64le`. I feel very strongly that it is irresponsible to add another architecture to this image, or to the downstream Docker top-level `couchdb` image, without regular CI occurring. You can revisit that decision after I eventually leave the CouchDB project, but know that it'll be with my disappointment. ;)
   
   ## Testing recommendations
   
   On a **native** `ppc64le` or `aarch64/amd64v8` platform:
   
   ```
   docker pull apache/couchdb:2.3.1
   docker run apache/couchdb:2.3.1
   ```
   
   The images have already been tested under qemu; we don't need any more testing in that environment.
   
   Testing with actual workloads on actual hardware would be really, really nice before a downstream PR is opened.
