[03:10:17]* farmBOT has joined #farmos
[11:06:29]<mstenta[m]>@room Is anyone using the arm32v7 farmOS Docker images to run on older Raspberry Pis? Trying to get a sense of whether or not we can deprecate those and stop building them in 5.x (not imminent... just thinking ahead in https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/1077)
[11:07:36]<mstenta[m]>I'm not at all opposed to keeping them! The only disadvantage is they take 20+ minutes to build (as opposed to < 5min for `arm64v8` and `amd64` builds). So if no one is using them then there's no reason to keep doing that...

[11:15:16]<FarmerEd[m]>I wouldn't be in a hurry to use one anyway. I think any of the 32 bit models would be painfully slow.
[11:16:18]<mstenta[m]>That's my thought too. I haven't tried running farmOS on 32-bit myself, but I think others have... although that was long before we even started offering official ARM Docker images, so they may not even be using them.
[11:19:46]<FarmerEd[m]>I didn't even realise you were building the 32-bit images to be honest, but I'd imagine sooner or later there would be some sort of dependency issues. Do docker even officially support it at this stage?
[11:22:32]<mstenta[m]>We build them via GitHub Actions, but currently the ARM images require qemu (emulation) to build, so they take a long time. The PR linked takes advantage of the ubuntu-22.04-arm GitHub Action runner so we don't need qemu for ARM64 anymore, but we still need it for ARM32.
[11:23:01]<mstenta[m]>(thanks wotnak for suggesting `ubuntu-22.04-arm`!)
