ARM64 Possible?

[NBSUKLTD]

Hello,

We love this product and it currently runs on a small server in the cloud. We've now got a nice little ARM system running in our office which we would like to migrate Vigil over to it however there is no ARM version available.

Will Vigil support ARM in future releases?

Hello,

An ARMv7 (32 bits) binary is published along with every Vigil release. It should work no problem on ARM 64bits CPU, do you confirm?

Latest binary: https://github.com/valeriansaliou/vigil/releases/download/v1.26.3/v1.26.3-armv7.tar.gz

[NBSUKLTD]

docker run valeriansaliou/vigil:latest
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

Is there a docker image for ARM64/v8?

[valeriansaliou]

I don’t publish ARM images at the moment.

[NBSUKLTD]

Would you be able to provide instructions to do this ourselves?

[valeriansaliou]

I think this should be as simple as wget-ing the built binaries tgz from releases and copying them into a base ARM64 Alpine image using your local Docker. Let me know if that works and I can figure out a solution at project level, because I don’t want to use QEMU to build ARM64 images from GH Actions, it’d be too slow.

I'll make it work without, but official ARM docker/podman images would be really nice to have.

Furthermore, the armv7 binaries provided may not run on aarch64. The "new" Hetzner AMPERE ARM VM's are aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

@NBSUKLTD I manged to get vigil to run on ARM64

Feel free to use my script as reference or even take it as it is and use in this project.
