Details

Description:

Simply by adding 'i686' to supported architectures PKGBUILD, I successfully built and launched Docker on x86 host (Lenovo S9 Atom N270 netbook to be proud of %)). Looks working. Why not just support this build officially?

Additional info:
* package version(s): docker 1:1.12.3-1

Steps to reproduce:

Just change PKGBUILD architecture line to
arch=('x86_64' 'i686')
This task depends upon

Last I knew, Docker upstream only supported 64-bit builds. Has this changed?

Really did not know if there were problems with 32-bit builds.

64-bit is surely mainstream for it, but I have used docker-git AUR package in 32 bit machine for several months. Just until it was broken several days ago. And then I tried to build this one with the change above and succeeded.

Surely I have not tried all features (I just know few features of it), but it works for me now. At least it builds and runs following simple container well: https://github.com/dluciv/fidoip-docker-x86/blob/master/Dockerfile

Official site also shows us that 32-bit builds are possible: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/binaries/#/get-the-linux-binaries

If they have official downloads now, it must have changed at some point. Good (?) news.
