Greetings everyone!

I’m trying to automate my builds with Docker, Drone CI and Gitea. I have a basic setup that is working:  
push to Gitea → Drone fetches the latest code and builds an docker image → push to local registry

Im currently in development and testing phase, cuz of this i have everything setup without ssl or any security mechanisms.

I was doing all of this on a pi 3 and recently i got another pi 4 and i moved my compose stack to the pi 4. After this i tried to run the created image on the pi 3 and it failed due to the architecture.

pi 3: arm32v7  
pi 4: arm 64

Now i tried building multiple docker images (arm64, arm32 and maybe amd64) but i didnt have success.

First of all: Is this possible at all?

If not what would be a solution to this case? Setup another drone runner on an pi 3 that then executes the build?

Compose file of my build stack:

```
version: "3.7"
networks:
  gitea:
    name: gitea

This is my build pipeline:

```

The first Pipeline gets executed without problems, the second is stuck in pending state and never gets executed.

Any hint, help or advice would be appreciated 🙂

Yes, we execute multi-os and multi-arch pipelines for Drone itself. If you look at our git plugin pipeline, for example [1], we execute pipelines for linux/arm, linux/arm64, linux/amd64, and windows/adm64. We also have a dedicated thread that you can use to triage builds stuck in pending status [2] which includes all data that we need to see in order to help you triage.

Im glad that this is possible. It looks like there are some errors with my configuration then.

I followed the link u replied and did what was described.

IMHO the problem could be that i only have 1 runner installed, that is armh64 and thus not able to execute the arm32 or the amd64 pipeline.

Sidenote: im using docker-compose with the config provided in my first post, do i have to specifiy the architecture for the docker runner?  
I followed this article:  
[https://docs.drone.io/runner/docker/installation/linux/](https://docs.drone.io/runner/docker/installation/linux/)

If i understand this correctly the image that compose pulls is arm64

Anyway here are the Logs you requested:

This is correct, you cannot run arm builds on an amd64 machine. You would need 3 different servers. 1 amd64 server with 1 drone runner installed, 1 arm32 server with 1 drone runner installed, and 1 arm64 server with 1 drone runner installed.

no, docker pulls the appropriate image for your architecture. If you pull drone/drone-runner-docker on arm64, for example, docker will ensure it pulls the arm64 version of that image.

Thanks for your assistance and sorry for the inconvenience.

I set up a runner on 2 different machines with the corresponding platform and everything worked!

Problem solved! Im now going to continue my journey with drone io. 😃

Thank you very much for the quick help and response. 🙂
