shouldn't we rather move to github actions?

[skabashnyuk]

+1
I'll probably volunteer on that.

[kumarvikas2020]

@sparkoo @skabashnyuk
Yes, github actions should be the preferable way, but unfortunately at present it does not support ppc64le architecture.

what about this https://github.com/uraimo/run-on-arch-action ? I didn't try it, but looks like there are ways how to do it.

buildx/docker supports ppc64le we are using it on other Che repositories

[benoitf]

here are examples:
https://github.com/crazy-max/geoip-updater/blob/master/Dockerfile#L7-L20

[kumarvikas2020]

@benoitf I agree with this example. May be we should go by buildx way for the repositories that are building Docker images.
Repositories whose build outcomes are not Docker images, we can explore actions like https://github.com/uraimo/run-on-arch-action as suggested by @sparkoo

[benoitf]

I would say that almost all our che repositories have docker images as result

[skabashnyuk]

@kumarvikas2020 I was planning to migrate che-jwtproxy to something like che-incubator/configbump#5. Can you take a look if that will work for you too?

[ghatwala]

hi @kumarvikas2020 - agree on using github actions as output needed is docker image anyways. Can you try using PR changes #30 and attempt a build ?

[kumarvikas2020]

@skabashnyuk @ghatwala
I tried building the images using the changes in #30.
The images are building correctly.

However, I have following observations:

1. We are not creating multi-arch images from rhel.Dockerfile.

2. In the Dockerfile, we need to copy passwd file from the builder image (as done in rhel.Dockerfile), otherwise we will get user related error.
   COPY --from=builder /etc/passwd /etc/passwd
   Error observed:
   docker: Error response from daemon: unable to find user appuser: no matching entries in passwd file.

Will fix that

Closing this PR as ppc64le support has been enabled using GitHub Actions and Buildx.

new images have been deployed https://quay.io/repository/eclipse/che-jwtproxy?tab=tags

[ghatwala]

hey @skabashnyuk thanks for making this image as "multi-arch" , is there a plan to follow suit for others here too - https://quay.io/organization/eclipse ? ( wherever applicable )

hard to tell.
