I want to limit the number of branches that I have to maintain. If hub.docker.com does not support automated builds for ARM and there is just one line difference from the alpine branch, I think it's better to add some instructions in the README.md and maybe make a simple script that does what is necessary to start the build (e.g. making a copy of the Dockerfile with modification and preparing for build on ARM).

I don't have time to test any ARM setup before January

Still busy at the moment.

If someone has the time, suggestions for build instructions/script (or something else) would be appreciated.

Is there any progress made on this issue? I'm running an M1 Mac and would very much like to be able to run a arm64 version of the sftp server.

@atmoz you should switch to the official qemu dockerx build actions

https://github.com/b2un0/docker-netcup-dyndns/blob/master/.github/workflows/container.yml

@HayoBaanAtHand the image from @kalioz works on M1 Macs.

Thanks @harald-walker-sympower, I will investigate this!

On Apple silicon Macs at least you can still run this in a docker container opened through a rosetta terminal.

Duplicate your preferred terminal application.
Set the duplicate to open with rosetta (instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861 )

Then you'll be able to run this container inside any shell of your new rosetta terminal application.

You can even run this docker container in a rosetta/intel shell while other containers remain running in a default arm64 shell. Cheers!

Hi @roball24, starting it from a Rosetta terminal instantiation is not even necessary; starting it from a normal Terminal also works just fine. And so does auto starting it when docker desktop starts (I created the container with --restart always)

I forked this repository a few months ago to fix the (now fixed) automated build issue, as well as add SCP support and to build multi-platform images (including ARM). So, you can run it on the Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon based machines. Docker Image - jmcombs/sftp & just in case you want to review the code: jmcombs/sftp

finally i switch to https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
