arm64 docker image no longer available

Bug report

Describe the bug
The docker image simplelogin/app published to docker hub used to support the arm64 arch. For example this one month old image simplelogin/app@4.6.5-beta

The successor simplelogin/app-ci is not multi-arch and only supports amd64.

Expected behavior
Because simplelogin/app does not appear to be updated anymore, I would expect that the successor simplelogin/app-ci supports arm64 arch just like the previous image did.

Additional context
A multi-arch build is missing here: https://github.com/simple-login/app/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml#L151-L156

Thank you

@KennethWussmann the simplelogin/app-ci is only used for our SaaS product (simplelogin.io) and we don't use ARM in production.

[KennethWussmann]

@nguyenkims I see. I just hoped that maybe I could use it for testing my API client, but understandable if this is currently not a priority.
Thanks for checking.

For my self-hosted SimpleLogin instance I use a raspberrypi. 4.6.4-beta is running good for last few months.
I'd also like to see updates for arm64, helping the self-hosted people

Additional info:

@nguyenkims already had arm builds working before with help of @Metabaron1 (who has an 4.22.5 version online at hub.docker.com/r/metabaron/app)
#270

Seems like new versions haven't been made for https://hub.docker.com/r/simplelogin/app/ ( most recent is 4.6.5-beta)
and it isn't enabled for https://hub.docker.com/r/simplelogin/app-ci/ (on v.4.28.2)

Hi
Indeed I'm still running on arm64. So I built and pushed 4.22.5 just to try out, but I'm using 4.6.5-beta as is recommended version for self hosting.
I didn't noticed bug with beta version, and as I only have basic use, I don't really need app-ci new features ;)

[Slevin90]

I'm not looking for features, but having an up to date setup is also a security item to keep in mind.

[Metabaron1]

I do not rely on app security, I monitor all network connections.
But indeed, security is a good reason to use app-ci if you only rely on application.
Are you unable to build your own arm62 image on your raspberrypi?

Are you unable to build your own arm62 image on your raspberrypi?

I don't know how to build. Prefer it's build by the owner, this could be one thustworthy channel for all arm64 users

[Metabaron1]

Best thustworthy channel is your own built one ;)
Here is how to build 4.28.2:

wget https://github.com/simple-login/app/archive/refs/tags/v4.28.2.zip
unzip v4.28.2.zip
docker build --tag app:4.28.2 app-4.28.2

...
should end up with "Successfully tagged app:4.28.2"

docker image ls app:4.28.2
should list : "app 4.28.2 ... About a minute ago 1.58GB"

Now when referencing sl-app image in docker command or docker-compose file, just replace official image "simplelogin/app:x.x.x" with your own local built image "app:4.28.2"

Edit: you have to build it on the raspberry to produce arm64 image. It's possible to build arm64 on intel platform as cross-platform build but it's a much more complex process, so just do it on your raspberry ;)

enjoy!

building 4.28.2 for arm64v8 worked (odroid-m1) . https://hub.docker.com/r/slevin1/app

updated database, like the update instructions ( Note: use alembic upgrade head in stead of flask db upgrade found in #1205 (comment) and #916 (comment))

had some problems with critical crash, manually increased the timeout in the sl-app-container from 15 to 45
gunicorn wsgi:app -b 0.0.0.0:7777 -w 2 --timeout 45

testing-environment works so far.

[martadams89]

Should be resolved with #2056

[ctrl-i]

@martadams89 They seem to have stopped again. The latest published version on docker hub seems to be v4.53.0

[martadams89]

Edit: I was running my container from the wrong folder, turns out it works!

I forked it and added amd64 back into the workflow and made a build here - https://hub.docker.com/layers/martadams89/sl-app/master/images/sha256-a02ed25e8f9c8f7c2d2cf8f538be64dff1b19cf938bab70f7011de7fa39ca511?context=repo

I've done a quick test and it appears to work, so I've made a PR here - #2310 - to get it merged back.. thanks @ctrl-i for letting me know :)

[martadams89]

I've set up my workflow to auto merge changes from the main repo to my fork, and a workflow to run weekly to dump an arm image.

@ctrl-i - this should hopefully keep you going until official arm builds are back
