Hi @ashwinik30.
Sorry to say that, but I believe that our current images are all x86 based. @mikedep333 can you confirm it?

Yet, you could try to install Pulp directly from the sources.

[mikedep333]

I suspect the workaround is that on non-x86, you just need to pre-build the pulp_ci_centos image for your architecture so it doesn't pull it from the registry. (It needs to be in your podman/docker cache.)

It needs this tag specifically:
ghcr.io/pulp/pulp-ci-centos:latest

You can build it from this layer:
https://github.com/pulp/pulp-oci-images/blob/latest/images/Containerfile.core.base

And then this layer:
https://github.com/pulp/pulp-oci-images/blob/latest/images/pulp_ci_centos/Containerfile
