Solace PubSub Standard docker image for M1 Mac

Can I please know if you are planning to release ARM docker image for Solace PubSub standard in the near future? 

New engineers in our team uses M1 Mac but they can’t setup Solace locally in their docker as the current images do not work on M1 Mac and they are blocked at the moment due to this issue.


Cheers,

Smith

    Hi @Smith Thapa,

    We are definitely planning on it! I see it as a high priority item for developers :)

    The level of effort is currently being investigated now by our R&D team and we'll be sure to share an expected release date once it's available.

    Thanks @marc. We are counting on you mate :D

    We use solace-pubsub-standard for a couple of use cases:

    • run docker-compose on dev laptops to start the microservice stack for component level testing.
    • run integration tests for solace interaction using testcontainers.

    Both these need a cleaner solace instance with test specific setups. Being able to run solace-pubsub-standard images on developer MacBooks on M1 is very important for our developer experience.

    Appreciate if this can be prioritised. We also raised a support ticket (#63686).

    Update - we don't have exact release date, but I saw a long term roadmap today and the target timeframes are as follows:

    • Broker on M1 is expected to be available in Q4 of this calendar year (Oct-Dec 2022)
    • CCSMP on M1 is expected to be available in Q3 of this calendar year (Jul-Sept 2022)

    Hey Marc,

    is this timeline still correct? i.e. can we expect the CCSMP on M1 release during the next month?

    I would really dislike implementing some workarounds for local development on my M1 machine if this issue will be resolved soon.

    Thank you for your help :)

    Hi @PatrickM,

    I'm checking with the team. I know the Broker is on schedule. News coming on that real soon ;), but I need to get an update on CCSMP.

    Hi @PatrickM and others on this thread, I have a few updates:

    Updates:

    • [Previous update]Broker on M1 is expected to be available in Q4 of this calendar year (Oct-Dec 2022) [Current as of Sept 2] Good news! This is moving along well. I'm hoping to have an EA version by the end of Sept that I can have folks try out that are interested :)
    • [Previous update]CCSMP on M1 is expected to be available in Q3 of this calendar year (Jul-Sept 2022) [Current as of Sept 2] Unfortunately this is looking more like GA in the December 2022 time frame, however when I can get an EA version I'll be sure to ping folks that want to try it.

    I am eagerly waiting for this. I am unable to run my local environment because of this.
