Add `aarch64` support to DevContainer #29

opajonk · 2025-09-23T14:27:35Z

With this change, in addition to the amd64 (x86_64) container, an aarch64 container is built. This should be useful for anyone using e.g. an Apple-M-series-based computer. Also, the latest tag is now updated along with the tag builds created from Git tags. The main tag is now used for tracking builds created from the main Git branch.

Closes #23

This has aarch64 support, finally.

This method should support aarch64 as well.

src/s-core-devcontainer/.devcontainer/s-core-local/install_matching_bazel_version.sh

is this still needed when bazelisk is there?

at least if you want that the command is ready right after container start...

UPDATE fixed with pushed commit

I cannot build the container locally anymore

what is now the plan to update the latest tag? I was expecting that latest always points to the last release, which is not the case anymore.

agreed tags in discussion

latest points to last released <version>

main points to state of most recent commit in main branch

<version> points to container build from git tag that has been deemed releasable

ensure: devcontainer build must use the lockfile, not update it silently

local test showed that modifying hashes in the lock file resulted in an build error. After I reverted my changes, the build worked again

agreed tags in discussion

latest points to last released <version>

main points to state of most recent commit in main branch

<version> points to container build from git tag that has been deemed releasable

Done like that
