I found that as well.  Armada wants at least version 3.4.

As far as I know our build system is unable to run docker commands since it is 
potentially running within a docker container itself.  There are plans to change 
this but as far as I know the work hasn't yet been done.

The Armada "quick start" suggests running Armada in a container for expediency, 
but if you follow the armada deployment scripts in openstack-helm it installs 
armada directly on the host.

I had indeed been planning on creating RPMs for armada and a few packages it 
depends on, but I'm reconsidering this given some issues I've run into with 
armada itself.
