Hi all,
Last night I had some time to myself, I decided to look at what it would
take
to get atomic running on arm. after having to tweak some of the json
files.
the hardcoded ref in it if not flexible at all
- "ref": "fedora-atomic/rawhide/x86_64/docker-host",
- "ref": "fedora-atomic/rawhide/armhfp/docker-host",
Neither is the hardcoded packages,
"grub2", "grub2-efi", "ostree-grub2",
"efibootmgr", "shim",
"extlinux-bootloader",
the packages in every other part of our deliverables are dealt with by
using
comps and yum/dnf skipping over missing things. Which made me curious
about
how it was envisioned to support atomic on multiple arches as it seems
to be
designed around a single arch silo.
However once I got past that I discovered that atomic and kubernetes
both had
"ExclusiveArch: x86_64" in the spec files (Violating packaging
guidelines in
the process) but they do actually build just fine for all the primary
arches
and are installable on arm at least. I was able to make a atomic repo in
the
end. I plan to throw together a kickstart and attempt to install it as
soon
as I can.
This is awesome, let me know if you have something that you'd like help testing. I have a spare TrimSlice that's currently sitting idle and would love to see some Atomic action on it. :)
What will it take to fix the packaging and get people on board for
supporting
the greater world? could it be something we work with someone like https://www.scaleway.com/ who have arm based cloud servers today to
support?
How do we do that? Is there an official avenue to pursue working with cloud vendors? What was the process to get the Fedora Cloud image into IaaS providers with fedimg? (I assume some sort of relationship has to be established between Fedora as a project and the cloud provider)

Send the scaleway people an email, letting them know you are asking officially on behalf of Fedora cloud. In my personal dealings, they have been very nice to work with. I don't know how it came about, but I know that centos has 4 machines dedicated to them. I'm not saying that will happen, just saying it.
