Request for docker arm64

[phampyk]

I just tried to build perlite on my raspberry pi running arm64 raspiOS and it's completely compatible with it, could it be possible to have it compiled in arm64 from github/dockerhub?
Thank you for the app, looks great, just what I was looking for.

Hey @phampyk
Unfortunately I have no arm64 environment here and I also don´t want to setup an emulator and testing this. The repository also contains the Dockerfile of the perlite image, so you can try to build your own image. Let me know if you get this running then we can add this to the wiki and repo.

Yes, I am running it right now on my raspberry pi 4, built from the dockerfile, with no issues. So it's fully compatible

What are the changes you made in the docker file? Can we create a separate docker and compose file for this ? You can also create a PR if you want

[phampyk]

I didn't do any changes, the basefiles you use are multi arch already so I only needed to build in my raspberry pi and it worked, nothing different at all.

ah ok, but then I think I can't provide a pre build arm64 image and the best way is to build it on the target environment you are using

[phampyk]

You can build multiarch when pushing to dockerhub without having to own that environment yourself. There's one here explaining how.
That way I, and anyone who wants to use it, can pull it from dockerhub every time you update or fix bugs.
And I already tested that works on arm64 so should be easy to do.
Hope this helps! I think it would be helpful to have it multi arch so more people can benefit from perlite even if it's on a raspberry pi :)

ok thanks 👍 I will take a look at this as soon I have some time

This actually looks like it would be quite easy to setup with a github workflow, although if you are manually creating the images still not that bad
