32-Bit (i686) Container Architecture & Debugging Log

An experimental 32-bit containerized stack (Node.js API, Python 3.11 Analytics, Nginx Proxy) built to resolve Docker Hub manifest deprecations and run on legacy i686 hardware.

Hardware Constraints & Workarounds

Running modern containers on native 32-bit (i686) systems triggered several low-level infrastructure failures:

• Docker Hub Manifest Errors (linux/386): Standard official images drop 32-bit builds. Pinned base layers strictly to debian:bullseye-slim.
• NPM Memory Exhaustion: Package resolution (npm install) hit RAM/swap limits on low-spec hardware.
• Exit Code 127 (RUN Command Crash): Missing system packages in 32-bit minimal base image caused "command not found" during Dockerfile RUN step; resolved by installing required build dependencies explicitly via apt-get.

Project Structure

• node-api/: Node.js API (Debian 32-bit base)
• python-analytics/: Python 3.11 microservice
• nginx/: Reverse proxy configuration
• benchmark.txt: Layer size and execution metric logs
• docker-compose.yml: Multi-container orchestrator

Container Benchmarks

Metrics logged during execution testing:

Service	Image	Size	Status
Node API	polyglot-node-api	72.2 MB	Build Memory Bound
Python Analytics	polyglot-python-analytics	135 MB	Verified (Py 3.11)
Nginx Proxy	polyglot-nginx	160 MB	Operational

Quick Run (Pre-built Binaries)

git clone [https://github.com/talatSajafa/polygot-project.git](https://github.com/talatSajafa/polygot-project.git)
cd your-repo
docker-compose up --build -d
