debian-ports

polyarch/debian-ports Docker images of Debian GNU/Linux sid

Usage

If your Operating System provides a modern qemu-user-static package and the binfmt-support package then it should be sufficient to use those packages. For example configure the docker host on Ubuntu Noble (24.10) by installing the following packages:

$ apt install qemu-user-static binfmt-support

Alternatively, before using any of these Docker images, you need to configure binfmt support on your Docker host. This works both locally and remotely (e.g., using boot2docker or swarm).

$ docker run --rm --privileged polyarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes

Once configured, you can run an image from your Docker host by selected a CPU architecture and setting it as part of the platform string:

$ docker run --platform linux/loong64 -it --rm polyarch/debian-ports uname -m
loongarch64

Supported ports

ARCH_LIST="alpha amd64 arm32v5 arm32v7 arm64v8 hppa i386 \
            loong64 m68k mips64le ppc ppc64 ppc64le riscv64 \
            s390x sh4 sparc64"
for ARCH in $ARCH_LIST;
do
docker run --platform linux/${ARCH} --rm -t \
            polyarch/debian-ports:latest uname -a
done

Source of Images

All images are generated from the respective architecture specific Debian GNU/Linux Operating System package repositories. Docker images are generated with the included update.sh script and the GitHub Action that runs it.

Notes

Only x86_64 has been tested as a host architecture.
