GH-1699 Setup multi-platform Docker images to support both x86 and arm architectures

[JanDintel]

Introduction

Support multiple platforms (architectures) for the Docker container in the Github Action release.

In this way open-source users can run the Docker image on both x86 and arm architectures. Rational behind this is because more cloud providers are supporting arm architectures with provide a better price-performance.

Hey @JanDintel , looks great 🚀
make sure to update your branch with master and ill make sure it is merged 😁

[ofek1weiss]

@JanDintel Just one thing, looks like in the empty lines you added, there are whitespaces which our code quality check does not seem to like, make sure to remove those

[JanDintel]

@ofek1weiss thank you for the review!
I've updated the file to remove the unnecessary white spacing and the previously failing pre-commit hook for prettier passed locally.

Hey @JanDintel,
Thanks again for your PR adding multi-arch support. Unfortunately, we’re hitting QEMU segfaults on arm64 whenever certain packages trigger a libc reconfiguration, so we’ve had to revert the changes for now to keep our CI stable.

Out of curiosity, did you ever get a chance to build the image using QEMU and get it working there?

[JanDintel]

@MikaKerman thank you for the update!

I was able to build a arm Docker image locally using QEMU, since this is provided by Docker Desktop. However I didn't verify it with the Github actions.

I'll investigate on my side whether I can propose a change which will also succeed in the Github actions.

[MikaKerman]

Thank you so much!
Let me know if you'd like me to start the build image workflow for testing it out!
