Support ARM64 based CPU
Describe the bug
As there isn't a build for ARM64 based CPUs, Postal cannot run on them and errors with "exec user process caused: exec format error".
To Reproduce
- Use an ARM64-based server (Raspberry Pi, Hetzner Cloud ARM server, etc.)
- Attempt to create a container with the Postal docker image
- Observe error
Expected behaviour
I expect Postal to work on ARM, while ARM architecture wasn't used as much in servers previously, it's becoming increasingly popular with many dedicated/cloud server providers offering them.
Additional information/context
I've created a PR to add ARM builds in #2770.
@adamcooke Support appears to be broken Error whilst pulling v3 images during postal initialize - no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries
This is intentional. Unfortunately it takes 20+ minutes to build for ARM. Until we can speed this up, ARM images are not built.
We have had this problem too (building ARM images on GitHub), hopefully the ARM runners are available soon https://github.blog/changelog/2023-10-30-accelerate-your-ci-cd-with-arm-based-hosted-runners-in-github-actions/
We have a ARM server right here. We just need to set it up to run some self hosted runners.
Some progress is being made here. Specifically we can build the image on ARM and AMD64 in just over 2 minutes which is better than over 20.
Hi all, are there any updates on adding ARM64 support to the project?
Hey @adamcooke, seemed to me like you had this sussed out already. Are there any updates on this please? I'll buy you a coffee.
