Multi-platform images for docker

[RobinGiel]

Currently only amd64 is supported. I'm currenlty using linux/arm64/v8 I'm getting issues with the official github image. Is there any way to make this multi platform?

[kleisauke]

Both Docker files (Dockerfile and alpine.Dockerfile) should already be supported on AArch64, see: #327.

We could provide a pre-built Docker image for this architecture once GitHub Actions supports this architecture natively. I do not plan to cross-compile or build this under virtualization (e.g. via QEMU, Buildx, or similar), as that will significantly affect the build time in CI.

According to this article, Github actions already supports it

It's supported, but that requires a self-hosted runner, hence the mention of "natively".

We do not currently have the necessary hardware available to host an ARM64-based GitHub Actions runner, other than the various Raspberry Pi's I own (which are already being used for testing purposes).

Not to promote Oracle, but there is currently a always forever free tier option to have your own image running ubuntu on ARM. In case you need to test some more. Thanks again for your feedback and the product :-)

I'll close, will revisit this once AArch64 is natively supported by GitHub Actions.

@kleisauke seems like there has been AArch64 native Github Actions for over a year, would getting arm builds on ghcr be viable now?

[kleisauke]

@NikiSkaarup It might be possible now, although we're likely migrating the Docker image to use the weserv/rpms repository, which only provides RPMS for x86_64, as I don't (yet) have an AArch64 builder available.

Let's re-open this and tag it as an enhancement.
