ARM Images

[DWSR]

Any change that ARM images could be published? They can be built via e.g. buildx or podman cross-build support to avoid requiring access to ARM hardware.

I'd like to use these on my Raspberry Pi cluster, but I'm sure that there are also folks who want to use them on their Graviton-powered EKS clusters.

It can be useful on RPI 4 cluster on arm64 arch.

Hi @DWSR , ArgoCD does not support ARM as of today.

Do you want to move this issue to argoproj/argocd ? I think that is a better place for this issue :)

[DWSR]

There's already an open issue: argoproj/argo-cd#4211

There's no reason to wait for ArgoCD to support ARM though, IMO. You can easily run mixed architecture clusters (I'm running one at home) and introducing ARM support in the operator isn't blocked on ARM support in ArgoCD itself.

Any update on this one in the past year or so?

[iam-veeramalla]

Anyone in the community willing to contribute to this ?

[tylerauerbeck]

I can take a look at this.

Following up on this. quay.io/argoprojlabs/argocd-operator image still does not support ARM. Deployed using Alpha channel which is on v0.6.0

Manager container returns exec /manager: exec format error

@iam-veeramalla is this still open for contrib?

[lwj5]

Updated build step, #1453. Up for discussion

Thanks @lwj5 for the PR. It's a good start.

To fully support operator installation on ARM via OLM, a few more changes are needed:

• Make bundle, util and registry image multiarch.
• Modify CSV to support installation on ARM.
  • https://olm.operatorframework.io/docs/advanced-tasks/ship-operator-supporting-multiarch/
  • https://sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/advanced-topics/multi-arch/#supporting-clusters-with-multi-architecture-compute-nodes
• If necessary, update the OperatorHub configurations to support multi-architecture installation. Check existing multiarch-supported operators in https://github.com/k8s-operatorhub/community-operators to identify the required changes.

However, before proceeding with these changes, I would like to hear the thoughts of other maintainers.
@iam-veeramalla, @anandf, @jgwest - Do you have any concerns, objections, or comments on supporting ARM?
