Docker images are the building blocks of containerization and ensure consistent development and deployment practices across various architectures. In this post, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of multi-architecture images provided by Raspbernetes, explore how you can easily utilize these for your projects, and troubleshoot common issues.

Understanding Multi-Arch Images

Multi-arch images are akin to a Swiss Army Knife. Just as this versatile tool can adapt to various situations with its different attachments, multi-arch images allow your applications to run seamlessly across various hardware architectures (like ARM and AMD64). This repository serves as a convenient source for unofficial Docker images compatible with non-supported architectures, ensuring that your applications can run on multiple systems until official support is available.

How to Find and Use Available Images

To get started, here’s how you can find and pull the available multi-arch images:

• Visit the apcupsd-exporter page to get the Docker image.
• Pull the desired Docker image using the following command:

  docker pull raspbernetes/apcupsd-exporter

• Run the image using:

  docker run raspbernetes/apcupsd-exporter

List of Available Images

Here are some of the useful images you can utilize:

• apcupsd-exporter
• botkube
• cluster-autoscaler – Supported issue: GitHub issue
• descheduler
• flux – Supported issue: GitHub issue
• …and many others!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

As in any technological endeavor, you may encounter issues while using multi-arch images. Here are some common troubleshooting steps you can follow:

• Image Not Found: Ensure you are using the correct image name. Verify the image name against the list provided.
• Compatibility Problems: Make sure your local architecture is compatible with the image you are trying to run. Refer to the architectures listed alongside the image names.
• Network Issues: If you cannot pull images, check your internet connection and Docker configuration settings.
