Description

I am trying to work with Fluentd on `s390x`, but I am a little confused on which Docker Hub I should be pulling from.

On the top of this repo, you have a link pointing to https://hub.docker.com/r/fluent/fluentd. Which seems great, since you have the needed version tags that I want, but when I go to utilize this image I run into a standard arch issue.

`standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "exec format error"`

After doing some digging around I see you guys started the progress on getting Fluentd as one of the official images on Docker Hub. https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/3724

Seems like this push was due support of `ppc64le` with help from @vaibhavsood. But looking at the official Docker Hub page, https://hub.docker.com/_/fluentd, it seems to only support a couple versions of Fluentd and lacks continuous updates like your other Docker Hub page.

I would really love to use Fluentd on s390x, but want access to new updated images and ideally older releases like `v1.2.6`.

@repeatedly Any input on this issue?

Additionally, there seems to be active talks and development around `ppc64le`, https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-docker-image/issues/120, thanks to @ghatwala. I would love talk about the possibilities of doing something similar to this but for `s390x`.

Research direction

Start by comparing the fluent/fluentd and official _/fluentd Docker Hub images, then read the linked official-images pull request and fluentd-docker-image issue #120. Done means the project has a clear path to updated Fluentd images for s390x, including the requested older version tags, or documents why that support is not feasible.
