Adding buildx Support As Plugin Where It Is Not Included By Default
This concerns (e.g.) s390x. The following commands can all be executed in your home directory on your LinuxONE instance/machine. The steps outlined here can be used analogously for other docker plugins (provided that a binary for the architecture in question is actually available).
Perform the following steps (v0.6.1 should be treated like a placeholder, it just happened to be the current version at the time of this writing. An overview of all available releases can always be obtained by just browsing releases w/o any additional URL components; command output for .eg. wget has deliberately been omitted for the sake of brevity):
mkdir -p .docker/cli-plugins
wget https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/download/v0.6.1/buildx-v0.6.1.linux-s390x
cp buildx-v0.6.1.linux-s390x .docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
chmod +x .docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
