add multiarch image / arm support

Open maxheld83 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

especially for people using Apple Silicon, it might be convenient to have a multiarch image with arm support (ie. linux/arm64 or something).

If I understand this correctly, using the existing linux/amd64 image on Apple Silicon would involve some kind of emulation (QEMU? Rosetta? Both? I don't know ...), which may carry a (further) performance penalty.

The official r-base seems to have this.

I think this may be my challenge. I am unable to build docker images which use FROM rstudio/rbase:bionic due to differing platforms.

It cannot be built unless the arm64 R installer is provided.
