Apple Silicon Arm builds

[tomjn]

Currently linux_arm builds are available, but Apple Silicon aarch64 builds are not.

To elaborate on the above, we use MailHog and mhsendmail in VVV. We actually don't use an arm64 build currently, but may well in the future. We currently use an aarch64 build (which is also not provided). I'm currently providing downloads for both MailHog and mhsendmail on both arm64 and aarch64 oh my forks.

@evertiro what about docker though?

[tomjn]

@abbluiz are you suggesting we use docker + QEMU x86 emulation? What about Raspberry Pis, arm servers, or native Apple Silicon?

[abbluiz]

@tomjn no, I was just asking really... because there's no arm docker images for mailhog and that would be good for apple m1 & other arm-based docker hosts

[ojtibi]

@abbluiz Exactly. I came here from Docker Hub, and I found this is the only ticket related to AArch64/Apple Silicon. Will be subscribing to notifications on this dicussion.

Would be great to have an official arm64 build for M1 based machines.
👍

For those looking for an arm64/aarch64 Docker image, I built one here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/jcalonso/mailhog

There is also an arm64 binary here:
https://github.com/jcalonso/MailHog/releases/tag/v1.0.1-arm

The arm build was tested on AWS Graviton t4g and Raspberry pi, I don't have a mac to test there but it should work™.

It would be great to have this on the official repo, let me know if the releases work fine and I can open an PR.

Edit: Fixed Docker Hub link

@jcalonso your binary works perfectly inside a Debian 11 arm64 VM on an Apple Silicon Mac

[Enchiridion]

@jcalonso Thanks for making that version! Working on Ubuntu 22 on M1 Mac. Any chance you could also make an arm64 version of tkotosz/mhsendmail and tkotosz/mhsendmail-wrapper?

[mikescott]

I discovered it's a piece of cake to compile these:

1. Install golang-go
2. Clone MailHog or mhsendmail
3. cd to the directory and run make and run the command it suggests to fix the errors, and run make again
4. The binaries should be in ~/go/bin

[atezet]

I LITERALLY just forked the image and ran

docker buildx build --push --platform linux/arm64,linux/amd64 -t arjenz/mailhog:latest .

to build and push it to Docker Hub. You're free to use it: https://hub.docker.com/r/arjenz/mailhog

If you want to try out a new project, created by a colleague of mine (in Rust), here's MailCrab: https://github.com/tweedegolf/mailcrab ! Also available on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/marlonb/mailcrab

I discovered it's a piece of cake to compile these:

1. Install `golang-go`

2. Clone MailHog or mhsendmail

3. `cd` to the directory and run `make` and run the command it suggests to fix the errors, and run `make` again

4. The binaries should be in `~/go/bin`

For me (debian 11 inside parallelsvm on m3 mac), it was even easier with go get github.com/mailhog/MailHog, the result was in ~/go/bin
