Docker containers for more platforms

See original GitHub issue

Besides x68_64 aka amd64, various ARM platforms are being used for servers or development (Raspberry, Mac, AWS, …). The current docker build process can only build for the developer machine’s architecture, typically amd64. This is then also what is published as a docker image on Docker Hub. As a result, ARM servers cannot use the docker image; a complete build system has to be set up on the ARM server before Kroki can be run.

Docker supports multi-architecture images seamlessly and efficiently; clients will transparently request the correct image for their architecture, if that architecture is available. For example, Debian base images are available in up to 9 architectures.

If the underlying code runs on multiple architectures as well, then it is easy to build a multi-architecture docker image, e.g., in Knot DNS. If not, these issues need to be sorted out first.

As most of the code is Java, Python, or JavaScript, I would expect the changes to be straightforward.

Mermaid is provided as a companion container, see: https://docs.kroki.io/kroki/setup/install/#_companion_containers

Oh never mind, it works now! (I had forgotten to specify HTTP/1.1 in my telnet command)

Well, mostly. If I try a mermaid diagram, I get Error 503: Connection refused: /127.0.0.1:8002
