Could we add officially supported Arm containers?

Oracle has a pretty generous always free service with Arm; 4 Arm vcpu, 24Gb RAM: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/#always-free

AWS has a pretty good free trial to the end of the year: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t4/

I think it’s generally true that Arm is more efficient and better for the environment.

There are 3rd party Arm images available and I’m running instances with these on AWS and Oracle, but they are not updated as frequently as the official images: https://hub.docker.com/r/masquernya/lemmy/tags

I know if I’m asking I should be ready to help, and I am. But this isn’t something I know how to do.

Looking for this morning’s release with the vulnerability fix.

You’re welcome! Today, the only commit that’s been made to lemmy is this one. I suppose you’re talking about yesterday’s security vulnerability fixes in lemmy-ui here and here?

If so, please pull 0.18.2-rc.1-linux-arm64 from my lemmy-ui repo on Docker Hub. latest-linux-arm64 works as well, as I periodically recompile it when interesting pull requests have been merged, so that one’s “bleeding edge” most of the time.

About Dessalines’ Docker repo: I don’t have access to that, unfortunately. But I’m pretty sure that Lemmy devs will soon provide offical ARM64 images again, after this is resolved.

Edit: Forget what I said, building new images now!

hmm weird. This bot is announcing an 18.2 release (and I think people are installing it.) https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-support-releases:discuss.online

But the repo is still showing 18.1 as the latest.

Yes, it was an oversight by me, I’m sorry. You can now pull 0.18.2-linux-arm64 from my repo.
