linux/arm64/v8 architecture support

[GrahamCampbell]

Currently, this package is only built for linux/amd64. Is support for linux/arm64/v8 planned? I understand GHC at least can be compiled on ARM64, now. I'm not sure what state it's actually in, in terms of actually working.

NB ARM builds are available for GHC 8.10 at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.10.1/.

Any plans to update the offical images to support arm64 (aarch64)? It would be great to see

Hi, initial arm64 support has been released!

Unfortunately stack does not officially support arm64 so is not included. There is a stack 2.7.1 arm64 release binary which I tried, but that didn't work in debian buster at least. I have pinged the stack people and there is interest in fixing this (although no movement yet), but I didn't want to wait.

It would be great if people could try out the arm64 images! 🙇

Thanks to @odidev for his initial PR adding support, which made me realise it wasn't so hard. ❤️

Going to tentatively close this.
