Owner

Currently the release pipeline only builds for linux/amd64. Adding ARM builds (at minimum linux/arm64, possibly linux/arm/v7) would make Asiakirjat easier to run on Raspberry Pis and other ARM-based servers.

What needs to change

Release binary: Build additional binaries for GOARCH=arm64 (and optionally arm) and attach them as release assets alongside the amd64 binary
Docker image: Build multi-arch images using kaniko or an alternative builder that supports --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64

Notes

Not urgent — current users are on amd64. This is for future reach.
Go cross-compilation for ARM is straightforward (GOARCH=arm64 with CGO_ENABLED=0)
Multi-arch Docker images may require switching from kaniko to something like buildx, or running separate kaniko builds and combining manifests
