What problem are you looking to solve?

⚠ Deprecation and Removal Notice ⚠

The armv7l images will no longer be available starting with the v5.15.20 and later versions. The existing versions for 5.15.8.2 and earlier will continue to exist but new versions will no be created. This is due to multiple reasons but the primary one is that TP-Link is no longer including support for any versions of the JDK before 17. They have announced this in the changelog for the latest beta versions.

The armv7l image still uses a no longer updated ubuntu:16.04 base image which is likely full of vulnerabilities as it is which is one of the other reasons for deprecation.

And the last reason for deprecation is that the armv7l image runs a version of MongoDB that is also not supported. TP-Link is beginning work to support newer versions of MongoDB (v8) and there is likely to be unexpected breakage at some point.

For the last two, see https://github.com/mbentley/docker-omada-controller/blob/master/KNOWN_ISSUES.md#notes-for-armv7l

Describe the solution that you have in mind

Support for armv7l will be dropped.
