ARM support

Hey there,

I was wondering if you’re planning to support ARM in your packages and/or Docker images. Right now I’m stuck on whatever ships with Debian for ARM64 architectures.

Otherwise, suggestions how would I go about building them myself? In a modern build world, it’s fairly straightforward, especially with Docker to handle all the emulation.

Thanks for such a great product! I’ve used Dovecot on my little server for over twenty years.

No concrete plans yet. We have discussed about it.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any chance I can help? Otherwise, where are the scripts for doing the build so I can produce my own packages?

Dovecot packages available on Debian x86, same I see on Raspbian for example.

$ apt-cache search dovecot

I would be fantastic if dovecot could release arm64 debian packages to the community repo, as it would allow fixing a lot of downstream problems:

release of official arm64 docker images
fix other downstream docker images like docker mailserver and mailcow

It looks like arm64 is gaining a lot of traction with Apple M series cpus, AWS Graviton, Ampere on eg. Hetzner, etc.

As far as I understand the debian packaging setup is not public / available on https://github.com/dovecot

Unfortunately we haven't even gotten the AM64 docker image published officially yet. We have been waiting for action on this from Docker official images team for a long while now. So I doubt building arm64 packages would move this anywhere.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm now very confused. Looking at https://github.com/dovecot/docker/blob/main/2.3.21/Dockerfile this container clearly just installs the debian package from the community repo.

That's why I thought publishing a arm64 debian package would enable a arm64 docker image.

Isn't https://github.com/dovecot/docker the source for the official docker images?

Docker images of dovecot, most likely yes (I don't know).

I ment Docker's official image library, which is bit different. We of course publish our own official images.

Shouldn't debian packaging be part of debian, not dovecot? Quite often (but definitely not always), upstream does not know how to package for a given distribution, and the resulting packages becomes quite a bit messy. I'd expect debian to prepare current packages of dovecot (for all architectures it support), not dovecot itself...

dovecot developers do a repo, but debian maintainers could help arm64 precompiled problem solving, why not ask ?

i am gentoo user asking for cpanel :)

Well, debian doesn't work like that.

But once the package is in debian, you can ship either the dockerfile or whole image using just the debian components without any extra repository.
