Building for ARMv8?

[EtaoinWu]

Currently the docker image for meshping is only built for x64 and armv7. Running the armv7 image directly on a armv8 machine gives me:

exec /usr/bin/dumb-init: exec format error

It would be great if there are container images built for armv8 available.

arm64 support would be nice

While I do agree, I currently don't have an armv8 hardware to build on and I'm not sure my cross-compilation skills are up to par. I can give it a try, but I can't promise anything right now unfortunately.

hm. it seems I managed to build it, but for some reason I can't get it included in the latest tag. Could you try running from the latest-arm64-v8 tag?

docker pull svedrin/meshping:latest-arm64-v8

For some reason the DroneCI docker manifest plugin fails to reference this image:

Couldn't find or access image reference "svedrin/meshping:latest-arm64-v8". Skipping image.

Not sure what's wrong...

I tried dropping the v8 variant in 590fd1a, but no luck. I'll have to look into this further.

Weird: I have two ARMv8 devices, one VPS (with Neoverse-N1) and one local (with Cortex-A53). The ARMv7 build runs on the cortex but gives the dumb-init: exec format error on the neoverse.

I just tested and can confirm that latest-arm64-v8 runs on both.

Can confirm, runs on my Raspberry Pi 4 Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8)

Nice. I'm not sure how to deal with the tagging issue though, so I'll leave this issue open for the time being.
