arm64 support

[Johennes]

#9 was previously closed because upstream didn't offer arm64 binaries. However, now that mattermost-community/focalboard#124 has been closed there seems to be official support for this platform. Is it possible to enable the arm64 architecture for the Yunohost app now?

[ericgaspar]

yes sure, as soon as the arm64 binary is available upstream... (can't see it upstream)

[Johennes]

Yeah, I noticed as well, after opening this issue here, sorry. I've opened mattermost-community/focalboard#4470 to request the binaries to be released.

[Johennes]

It looks like releasing arm64 binaries might not be a priority for them right now. Is there anything I could do in the meantime? E.g. would it help if I made and hosted arm64 builds myself?

[ericgaspar]

Yes! if you are able to compile a working binarie we could add it to the script

[Johennes]

I managed to get cross-compilation working via Docker in mattermost-community/focalboard#4528. So theoretically anyone could build arm64 binaries using this now. However, I guess security-wise, it'd be better to take the binary from an official upstream channel. I'm just a random guy from the internet after all. 😅

I'll give it some time to see if we could get this integrated upstream and if not we can still resort to building the binaries ourselves.

The Dockerfile for cross-compilation is now merged. So we'd now only need to make and host the builds. Possibly we could just do this in a fork of the Focalboard repository using GitHub automation?
