Provide Proper Snap Package on ARM

Open aaronbuckner opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the Issue:

I install an Ubuntu 2022 ARM VM on my Mac, but when I install Doctl I get version 1.54 from 2016

Environment:

  • doctl version: 1.54
  • OS: Ubuntu 2022 Server (ARM)
  • Installation method: Snap

Additional Details:

Since Apple Silicon is the only architecture on new Macs, it is my only choice. The version from 2016 works, but is very incomplete. Is it really that hard to package this up properly for people like me?

Thanks for the feedback. While we consider adding snap ARM64 to our official release process, I wanted to point out that there are automatic builds for ARM64 in the edge channel.

sudo snap install doctl --edge

While not tested as thoroughly as our official releases, it should provide a more up to date option.
