Please, add aarch64 host support (for self-hosted runners)

[iav]

Behaviour

On aarch64 self-hosted runner crazy-max/ghaction-docker-buildx@v3 tries to setupamd64 buildx version https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/download/v0.4.1/buildx-v0.4.1.linux-amd64

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. set aarch64 self-hosted runner
2. try to run crazy-max/ghaction-docker-buildx on it

Expected behaviour

It should run same as on x64 at least for linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6 targets

Job prepares buildx on my armbian aarch64 self-host worker:

      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        env:
          BUILDX_URL: https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/download/v0.4.1/buildx-v0.4.1.linux-arm64
        run: |
          curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
          sudo sh get-docker.sh
          mkdir -p $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/
          curl -sL $BUILDX_URL > $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
          chmod a+x $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
          echo -e "{\n  \"experimental\": \"enabled\"\n}" | tee $HOME/.docker/config.json
          docker info
          docker buildx create --use --driver docker-container
          docker buildx inspect --bootstrap

could use tonistiigi/binfmt instead.

docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all

[crazy-max]

@morlay Don't think so. His runner is an aarch64 host.

[morlay]

me too.

learn from docker/buildx#342 (comment)

[crazy-max]

@morlay Yes but buildx is already available on your host, not for @iav.

@morlay @iav Btw, can you try #234 and let me know if you encounter any issue? Thanks.

[morlay]

buildx provide arm64 version https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases
so it is easy to change for different arch.
https://github.com/crazy-max/ghaction-docker-buildx/blob/master/src/installer.ts#L51

but i try to run multiarch/qemu-user-static on arm host. it failed. tonistiigi/binfmt may fix this.

@crazy-max

seems not released?

@morlay

seems not released?

Yes see this workflow for now (uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@master).

[morlay]

it works well on my arm64 self-host.

@crazy-max i couldn’t wait to change my github workflows. Thanks for your wonderful work.

when the v1 release?

[crazy-max]

@morlay

when the v1 release?

For setup-buildx and setup-qemu it will be available asap under v0.9.0 release. No official ETA for v1. See docker/setup-buildx-action#1 (comment)

Thanks for your support!

@iav aarch64 support has been added to docker/setup-buildx-action
