I am setting up devcontainer for working with my custom provider and I am wondering if there was a specific reason that an arm version of the pulumi docker image doesn’t exist here <https://hub.docker.com/r/pulumi/pulumi/tags>

As it stands, my Apple Silicon machine downloads the amd64 version and it is super slow (expected since it is emulating)

_building it now to see if an error happens_

iirc you're hitting this issue <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker-containers/issues/63>

most of the docker images do have `ARM64` e.g. <https://hub.docker.com/r/pulumi/pulumi-base/tags> but not the ~base~ all-in-one image

upvotes matter so please do upvote if inclined!

Correct me if I am wrong, I don’t believe I can use a language specific ones since I am building a provider and SDKs

hm, yeah, that sounds correct. i feel like the reasoning in that issue is sound, but also not great for your situation.

Well I updated the Dockerfile to use arm64 versions and building now. Let’s see if any errors happen :crossed_fingers:

Would be pretty sweet to make this work and bake it into the boilerplate repos for providers

yeah, definitely. I've _heard_ some talk around how pulumi's current support of devcontainers isn't ideal, so this uh... speaks to me in terms of something we should do better :slightly_smiling_face: lemme look around a lil here

to be fair, i could use the setup from <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/tree/master/.devcontainer|here>. It is just painfully slow on arm64 due to it needing to emulate

Just to come back around, I opened a PR with the changes I made to get an arm64 image built: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker-containers/pull/274>

ooo! :tada: I will give it a try locally tomorrow and :+1: for visibility

I ended up spending some time getting <https://github.com/pulumi/devcontainer> running locally instead

Interesting. I suppose that is to give people an easy way to add the devcontainer config and keep it updated
