Docker Compose: dynamically change the image architecture based on running host machine

Hi! quick question: is it possible to dynamically change the image’s arch based on the host’s machine instead of create 2 separate docker compose file?

Currently I have 2 files:

For arm64 (osx)

services:
  typesense:
    image: docker.io/typesense/typesense:0.25.2-arm64
    container_name: typesense
    restart: on-failure
    ports:
      - "8108:8108"
    volumes:
      - ./typesense-data:/data
    command: '--data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --enable-cors'

For non arm64

services:
  typesense:
    image: docker.io/typesense/typesense:0.25.2
    container_name: typesense
    restart: on-failure
    ports:
      - "8108:8108"
    volumes:
      - ./typesense-data:/data
    command: '--data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --enable-cors'

The only difference here is the image, and ideally running them e.g. docker compose up -d then let the engine decide which arch is appropriate in the host’s machine instead of using docker compose -f <FILE> up -d.

There’s no platform option for docker compose. Thus, what you’re looking for here is something even easier. For example, you’ll want to do the following:

services:
  typesense:
    image: typesense/typesense:0.25.2
    container_name: typesense
    restart: on-failure
    ports:
      - "8108:8108"
    volumes:
      - ./typesense-data:/data
    command: '--data-dir /data --api-key=xyz --enable-cors'

Now, the above should run the appropriate Docker image platform variant for the host architecture.

I doubt that you can do this dynamically. Or maybe I am wrong. :slight_smile: But using separate files might be the simplest way.

I haven’t tried it myself but I guess you can use environment variables

image: docker.io/typesense/${MY_VARIABLE}"

Then in your shell you declare a variable called MY_VARIABLE according to your system

@jaeyson Have you tried building a multi-platform Docker image for your application? If not, I recommend checking out the docs on the subject here:
