Missing fedora-toolbox image for ppc64le

[runlevel5]

What is it?

There is no f32/fedora-toolbox image built for ppc64le architecture

How to reproduce?

$ toolbox create

Download registry.fedoraproject.org/f32/fedora-toolbox:32 (500MB)? [y/N]: y

Unfortunately, this is something you will have to take up with Fedora infrastructure. Currently Fedora only offers OCI images for x86_64.

Still, I am curious. What are you using ppc64le for?

I am using ppc64le in the same way that of x86_64. With the availability of affordable OpenPOWER system such as Blackbird Raptor, it is now easier than ever to use ppc64le as main driver. Plus there is lots of upstream work on k8s and containers from RedHat and IBM for ppc64le architecture.

Oh, yes, that's very cool indeed.

Thanks for stopping by!

@HarryMichal I would like to ask if there is chance ppc64le image would be supported now. Many thanks

This is something that's solely up to the Fedora Infrastructure Team.

Very recently we started to offer fedora-toolbox images for aarch64 from registry.fedoraproject.org.

Meanwhile, you can take the Dockerfiles from Toolbox's Git repository and build your own images locally with podman build.

I have some happy news for you.

The fedora-toolbox OCI image for Fedora 39 onwards is now being built using Image Factory from fedora-kickstarts and pungi-fedora as part of the ToolbxReleaseBlocker Change for Fedora 39. It's no longer being built using OpenShift Build Service from the Container/Dockerfile.

As a positive side-effect of that we now have images for ppc64le and s390x, alongwith the already existing aarch64 and x86_64 images from registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox for Fedora 39 onwards.
