Fixes #480: Builds multi-platform image for both amd64 and arm64

[antevis]

At build stage, you pass --platform argument, like so:
--platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64

Hey, I'm a complete Docker novice. Can you tell me exactly which command I should run?

Also, do I need to run each build on its own CPU architecture? Do I need to build the AMD64 version on a machine with that architecture and the ARM version on a different server for it to work?

[antevis]

I build manually on an Apple silicon Mac with Docker Desktop installed:

docker build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t <dockerhub_username>/jesse:<version> --push .

docker build is actually an alias for docker buildx build
this builds the multi-platform image and pushes it to Docker hub:
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/polyconnect/jesse/tags

Your workflow is likely different, but the basic idea is the same

here's the relevant documentation, where the process is described in details, including what pre-requisites should be met:

Thank you for such detailed and quick response.

@saleh-mir could this change be merged?

Hi there, I tried working on this. Unfortunately, I decided not to move forward because some of the packages that we need are not updated constantly.

If I try to keep the arm support, things will get significantly more complicated and difficult to maintain for me.

On the other hand, I removed some of the dependencies that were difficult to set up, so now installing natively on all operating systems should be easy.

Since version 1.7.0

I appreciate your pull request and efforts.

@antevis I added a parallel build for the image to arm64 in my repo package:

https://github.com/TrianaLab/jesse-chart/pkgs/container/jesse-arm64

Although it works fine in my arm64 linux cluster, the live trade plugin is not compatible, which is the issue that @saleh-mir mentioned. Still I'll keep building it for arm64 on any new version just in case anybody feels it's useful without the live-trade plugin
