ARM based docker image

[vkuznecovas]

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to see an ARM based docker image for pulsar. The problem is that under new macs the pulsar containers have to be run under emulation which makes them horribly slow.

Describe the solution you'd like
ARM based docker image should be available in the apachepulsar/pulsar repo.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Building a native image has not proved trivial, so ideally someone with more knowledge of the project would be able to create one.

+1. This would be a good feature for end users. My only concern as a contributor is that it will increase build times. That shouldn't stop this feature, though.

Ideally, we'll be able to follow the instructions here: https://www.docker.com/blog/multi-arch-build-and-images-the-simple-way/. I haven't done a mutli-arch build using maven before (we build our docker images using maven), so that is one nuance.

I'm glad to work on this if there is nobody already working on it? I've recently created a build job to build amd64/arm64 Docker images for Apache SkyWalking and can apply the experience here, perhaps.

Thanks @kezhenxu94, I have assigned the issue to you. Looking forward to your PRs.

I am also interested in support for ARM docker images, especially for testing locally on Apple Silicon based machines

Thank you @krissetto !! Will let you know when I have a docker image for testing on ARM!

Hi all in this thread, I just pushed a multi-arch image to my own repo, anyone interested is welcome to pull and test it in your environment. https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/kezhenxu94/pulsar/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated

To test, just replace the docker image with kezhenxu94/pulsar, example:

docker run -it \                                                                                                                  
  -p 6650:6650 \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --mount source=pulsardata,target=/pulsar/data \
  --mount source=pulsarconf,target=/pulsar/conf \
  kezhenxu94/pulsar \
  bin/pulsar standalone

Note this is not official and not well tested now, I'll test, polish and then open a PR so everyone can review on the build process.

Any feedback are also welcome and appreciated 🙇

I've tested it out, seems to work great. Thanks!

I have also started testing it on an M1 device, and it seems to work 😄 I haven't gone very deep into it yet though, so i'll be back with feedback if I encounter any specific issues with it. Thanks for the build! Ping when you have a PR too since i'm curious

Sure, will keep you all in this thread posted. Thanks all for testing. 🙇

I can also validate that this appears to work on M1 Pro Max based machine. Would love to see the PR so we can get an official image; this works for local development in the meantime (and eliminates yet another tie to an Intel based machine!). Thanks so much!
