I checked some of the other downloads and could not find any ARM-specific downloads for them, but if there are more, I'd be more than happy to add them. Also, I've tested both formula's locally (on ARM and Intel) and on Intel it works like before, where ARM is now running on "Apple Silicon": To test: brew reinstall --build-from-source Formula/{elasticsearch,kibana}-full.rb |

Just now noticed there's an update script that would break, but I don't immediately have a great fix for that: https://github.com/elastic/homebrew-tap/blob/main/.ci/update.sh |

I think I've resolved the issue with multi-arch updates. It's a bit tricky, and it triggers downloads twice (but the second is just to confirm that the package installs correctly, which I think is still a good test). |

@mgreau sorry for pinging you directly but would you mind reviewing this? 🙏 |
|
If there's interest for this from Elastic, let me know, happy to rebase, otherwise I'll close this PR and keep using my fork personally. |
|
At least as a user this would be greatly appreciated. Current situation makes it unfeasible to manage ES installation with Homebrew, as the x86 version is so much slower on a M1 Mac. |
|
Sorry for the radio silence here and thanks for your effort here @jeroenvisser101. 🙏 We discussed this topic internally and unfortunately, we are not going to support Homebrew for the 8+ versions (neither update the current mechanism) to focus on the developer experience based on Elastic containers where we introduced multi-architecture images back in 2020. I will update the README and clarify the situation in this repository soon.
@mpenttila have you considered using our containers images? |

@mgreau Thanks for the update! It's a shame, especially with Docker for Mac becoming harder to use without their subscriptions, but I understand, feel free to close :) |
|
Understandable, thanks for the reply as well!
Yeah, I have used them, and they work fine. I just prefer to avoid the extra overhead of using Docker for Mac. |
