It has been an issue for a long time to run Docker images on multiple architectures. I remember the first time I got the idea to install Docker on my Raspberry Pi and I realized quickly that what I was trying to do would not work. The issue of course was that I was trying to use an AMD64 compiled Docker image on a ARM 32 bit CPU. Anyone who works with any lower level languages would call me an idiot for realizing this sooner than later. I would agree with them. Docker just seems to work like magic, running on most machines without any issue, like running Linux containers on Windows. One thing that has not been easy though is building Docker images on one type of CPU and running them on another.

I live in London now, and on the 18th and 19th of July this year, the UK saw its highest recorded temperatures ever. The south-east of England was particularly affected. I personally struggle a lot with heat, and knowing I would find temperatures of up to 40°C unbearable, I escaped London to slightly chillier Portsmouth. However, before I left, I thought it would be really cool to see how the temperature and humidity in the flat change during the heat wave while I'm away. Luckily enough, I realised I had a Raspberry Pi Zero and a BME280 temperature sensor, so I got to work putting them together. You can get the sensor from Adafruit - it's easy to connect via I2C and it seems to be quite well-supported when it comes to Linux drivers. Here's what it all looks ...
