I use docker container on CentOS7 x86_64.



Docker container depends on the host system.



bash
$ arch
x86_64


The arch command shows the above host arch in the container.



I want to use the container as i686, so I write i686 in /etc/yum/vars/arch and /etc/yum/vars/basearch.



bash
$ cat /etc/yum/vars/arch
i686
$ yum install package # It will install i686 packages.


What is the difference?
