ARM64/apple silicon support

I tried to build and run ARM64 docker image referenced this doc, but I could’nt run it. https://github.com/questdb/questdb/tree/master/core#switch-docker-desktop-to-linux

My approach was below.

First, I couldn’t run the command on the document because repo has no file such as Dockerfile-linux-arm64

docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 -t questdb/questdb:4.0.0-linux-arm64 --file Dockerfile-linux-arm64 . --load

So I created a new one based on Dockerfile-linux which modefied it.

diff Dockerfile-linux Dockerfile-linux-arm64

18c18
< RUN tar xvfz questdb-*-rt-linux-amd64.tar.gz
---
> RUN tar xvfz questdb-*-rt-linux-aarch64.tar.gz
24c24
< COPY --from=0 /build/questdb/core/target/questdb-*-rt-linux-amd64 .
---
> COPY --from=0 /build/questdb/core/target/questdb-*-rt-linux-aarch64 .

Image build was succeed, So I tried to run it on Ubuntu 18.04 for Raspberry Pi ARM64 and I had an error as bellow.

sudo docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 8812:8812 -p 9009:9009 bathtimefish/questdb:5.0.3-linux-arm64

How can I do for that?

I’m also interested in running the latest docker images on ARM64. I have a 64-bit Raspberry Pi 4B running headless Ubuntu Server connected to a SSD. I’m collecting large amounts of streamed sensor data for a startup project. I was impressed with the docker demo, and running QuestDB on the Pi seemed a serious cost-effective contender for the time being.

Confirmed I was able to build QuestDB 6.3.1 from source on 64-bit Raspbian and run it. I’ve tested connecting to the web console through my browser via a different computer on my LAN, and things are looking solid! 👍

Appreciate the QuestDB team getting ARM64 working again! I’m looking forward to using it.
