Alternative architectures

As stated in the Prerequisites, currently only amd64 (x86_64) is fully supported.

The playbook automatically determines the target server's architecture (the matrix_architecture variable) to be one of the following:

  • amd64 (x86_64)
  • arm32
  • arm64

Some tools and container images can be built on the host or other measures can be used to install on that architecture.

Implementation details

For amd64, prebuilt container images (see the container images we use) are used for all components (except Hydrogen, which goes through self-building).

For other architecture (arm64, arm32), components which have a prebuilt image make use of it. If the component is not available for the specific architecture, self-building will be used. Not all components support self-building though, so your mileage may vary.
