Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's Dockerfile and image build configuration, then compare the current build with the ARM64 port linked in the issue. Determine what is required to produce a current Digikam 9.1.0 ARM64 image and verify that the resulting image builds and runs on ARM64.

Wanted change

I need an ARM64 port of the digikam Docker image. So far, there has only been a port by A.J.V. Correia, which contains version 5.6.0 of digikam, whereas 9.1.0 is the current one (as of June 2026).

NB: Without the necessary experience, I can't build the image myself without help from an expert.

Reason for change

ARM64 is becoming an increasingly popular architecture foundation for Linux systems, so there is demand for ARM64 ports of apps like digikam.
