This article applies as of PRTG 24 and multi-platform probe 2.0.0

Running the multi-platform probe in a docker container

The multi-platform probe is currently available as a docker image in Docker Hub. It is only available for Linux.

To run a Linux container on windows, see the Microsoft documentation.

We update the image with every new version of the multi-platform probe.

Hello do you plan to provide the Linux native arm64 docker image? The download link specifies only amd64 image. Would be good to be able to run docker probe under Raspberry PI.

As a side note. Can we expect the images to be published to docker hub/other repositories instead of manual download?

Yes we do plan to provide ARM versions of the image soon.

We are also looking into how best we can publish these to some kind of public registry and will post more information here when we figure out what we'll do.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Dear Paessler Team

Could you please come up with the docker container image for ARM platform? According to the installation description in the other blog entry below, this should be supported now.. Thank you in advance!

Hi Nicolas,

This was on our list of things to do in the middle of the year this year but had to be postponed and is now something that's been put back on our plan and should be done latest by spring 2023.

In the other article, we mention that ARM is supported but that's currently only for a binary installation.
