Official Docker Container for Deno does not support ARM64

[exotic cargo]

Hey Deno Developers,
I wanted to ask if there is a specific reason why the offical deno docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/denoland/deno/tags does not support the arm64 architecture? Are there any plans on adding it?

Deno doesn't have official builds for arm linux

It's a CI issue since github doesn't offer it

Hmm unfortunatly I am not too experienced with such a complex action workflow like that from deno. Otherwise I would have created a pull request. But I know you can build arm images using githubs CI actions as I am using that frequently. Ill dig a bit to see if I figure something out

I think the issue is testing in arm linux and not building... @pure tree am I remembering this correctly?

Both. A possibility would be using QEMU, but the problem with that is CI time is too long

Thanks guys for your feedback. Just noticed in the deno installation instructions that only x64 is supported for linux. So I cant use deno for production at all. I should have read that first.

If you're just looking for deno builds for arm64, you could use the unofficial builds at https://github.com/LukeChannings/deno-arm64

Oh it also has docker containers

cool

For everyone that needs to build a container for arm64:
I've just tried Luke Channings unofficial deno container successfully: https://github.com/LukeChannings/deno-arm64
As of right now these containers are also not out of date.
Awesome!
