Docker images for ARM architecture include an AMD architecture Java

[jbrugge]

Expected Behavior

We would like to run the DAISY-built Docker image of the DAISY Pipeline on ARM architecture servers, such as AWS graviton EC2 instances.

Actual Behavior

When we started up a Docker container from the "daisyorg/pipeline-assembly:latest" DockerHub tag on an ARM architecture machine, it failed to launch Java.

Steps to Reproduce

From an AWS EC2 graviton machine, or any other Linux ARM architecture machine, run the latest Docker image, and then look at the packages it installs. Note that the packages are arm64, but the Java installation is AMD64/x86-64:

Thanks John. I was already aware of this problem, and have fixed it for the "latest-snapshot" tag.

There is one problem however: some things will currently not work, for instance anything related to braille. This is because the Liblouis binaries have not been compiled for ARM64 Linux.

Could you try if the "latest-snapshot" image works for you?
