timescale-ha multiarch (ARM/Aarch64) support

[SharkWipf]

While the main timescaledb image has multiarch support, and attempts have been made (timescale/timescaledb-docker#23, timescale/timescaledb-docker#145) to provide multiarch support for the timescaledb-postgis image, since its deprecation, its recommended replacement, timescaledb-ha, does not offer multiarch support.
Is there a chance of getting arm/v7 and Aarch64 support on these images?

To give another great reason for this: This would also make development with timescaledb on ARM-based macs much faster.

Thank you for the amazing software!

+1 for this feature, would allow me to use ARM based EC2 instances - which are cheaper!

Any support planned for this. As i see this issue was raised in May2022.

It looks like someone is thinking about it. https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-docker-ha/blob/2466f28f5e3ce7c4410b5a1d63f7fab23420c985/Dockerfile#L81

maybe this https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-docker-ha/pull/355 brings that a bit closer... It contains traces of ARM too :D

+1 to may have this amazing software running on arm in the future :)

+ 1 waiting on this

+1 would love to hear any updates on this

@graveland mentioned in #355 that

This also adds most of the required support for arm64 builds as well, but we need to fix public arm64 build runners before fully building multiplatform images

is there a issue for that to follow? As long as those runners are not fixed I guess there won't be images then.

Would love to have that as well. I want to run it on a RaspberryPi.

In the meantime, I'm using an image starting with postgres and install timescaledb + toolkit myself:

+1 any chance it will work?

if you care for a temporary solution, you could use the dev repository... https://hub.docker.com/u/timescaledev

I have to do before all of this the following, since I am using Podman, not Docker:

ln -s /usr/bin/podman /usr/bin/docker

Then it should be about as easy as:

git clone https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-docker-ha.git
PLATFORM="arm64" make build

Seems a bit weird that it's not included in automated builds by default though ...

[wuast94]

any news on this?

This worked for me on Mac using Docker

@feikesteenbergen Could you add the proposed ARM build to your configured CI/CD, this would help timescale adaption ...

[graveland]

Should be fixed as of #456

Thank you so much @graveland @feikesteenbergen
