I feel this is a hard task that none of the maintainers is likely to take on. If you can get this working, please submit a PR and let's see if we can shepherd it to conclusion. The main obstacle that I see that there are some dependencies that are not available for arm.

[nanu-c]

The mailu mailserver depends on similar components and has an arm64 build and debian has all packages also as arm64. I agree that there is the time constrain of adding support for it and maybe i will look into it, but i see no big obstacles in doing so.

If there is still interest in this, I am sure I can make a bit of time and get this done.

@nanu-c @AndrewSav @sknight80 @SaraSmiseth What do you all think?

[SaraSmiseth]

If it is not too much work I think this would be nice. I have a raspberry pi I could try it on.

What needs to be changed is how we get gucci. It is hardcoded to amd64 right now. Maybe other things as well.

In my opinion this is still relevant because the arm64 servers are now cheaper than the intel ones. And the raspberry pi 5 with 8gb ram is also a good target. But at the same time we have switched to mailcow for the same reason.

@ksylvan It is nice to have if you have time for that. I have an RPi too, but I'm not sure if it will actually run on that memory and CPU wise. Happy to test.

I would join, I had just considered it, unfortunately not executable on ARM servers.
