## Architectures other than amd64?

Work is in-progress in the Docker Engine and Registry to properly support multiple architectures (see [docker/docker#15866](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/15866)). While this work is ongoing, **temporary**, experimental builds of the official images for the following architectures are happening somewhat incrementally (with a strong bias towards images necessary for Docker's own CI to help hasten proper multiarch support upstream) via CI.
Some images have been ported for other architectures, and many of these are officially supported. These are the supported architectures:

- ARMv5 (`armel`): https://hub.docker.com/u/armel/
- ARMv7 (`armhf`): https://hub.docker.com/u/armhf/
- ARMv8 (`arm64`): https://hub.docker.com/u/aarch64/
- IBM z Systems (`s390x`): https://hub.docker.com/u/s390x/
- POWER8 (`ppc64le`): https://hub.docker.com/u/ppc64le/
- System z (`s390x`): https://hub.docker.com/u/s390x/
- x86/i686 (`i386`): https://hub.docker.com/u/i386/
- ARMv8 (`arm64v8`): https://hub.docker.com/u/arm64v8/
- ARMv7 (`arm32v7`): https://hub.docker.com/u/arm32v7/
- ARMv6 (`arm32v6`): https://hub.docker.com/u/arm32v6/ (Raspberry Pi 1, Raspberry Pi Zero)

Should we have a blip in OCI about concatenating these?

If you think there'd be value in such a thing, sure -- we needed something to differentiate for pushing images into buckets, so this is what we settled on based on that PR's granularity. 😅

Ok, we'll leave it as is. The problem I am worried about here is that you have arm32 whereas OCI has arm.

I don't think this is a big deal.

If you are curious about how these images are built or have issues with them, please direct all comments to [issues on the `tianon/jenkins-groovy` repo](https://github.com/tianon/jenkins-groovy/issues) for now.
Check each image description for individual image support status (for example, https://hub.docker.com/r/s390x/golang/ is officially supported).

If you're curious about how these are built, head over to https://doi-janky.infosiftr.net/job/multiarch/ to see the build scaffolding for these other architectures.
