Handy Search Engine for Docker Hub Images

http://soaphub.org/imagehub/ provides a nice way to search Docker Hub. You can search for strings in name spaces, and the result also displays what architectures the image is backed by.

IBM Z images on Docker Store

As mentioned in a previous post, an increasing number of Docker "official images" include s390x binaries. This is now also marked accordingly on Docker Store. If you search for containers, there is an "IBM Z" checkbox. Activating it filters for s390x images.

Docker Official Images Go Multi-Arch

Starting today, all Docker official images (on Docker Hub and soon easily identifiable on Docker Store) are multi-arch images. Official images are credibly curated images that are maintained by Docker, the Docker community or the projects behind individual images.

That does not mean that all these images are available for s390x yet, but the infrastructure is in place to several architectures into official images, i.e. all official images are manifest lists. An earlier post explained multi-arch images and how to use it.

At this time, quite some official images are not just multi-arch enabled, but also carry s390x binaries.
