Support ARM64

[ruckc]

The enhancement may already be reported! Please search for the enhancement before creating one.

Current Behavior:

Dependency Track is unable to deploy on arm64 environments

Proposed Behavior:

Change github workflow to use buildkit to build containers for commonly used architectures (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64).

This enhancement would be beneficial to users/potential developers that use arm64 processors.

At the same time, the project should likely migrate to Eclipse Temurin.

[ruckc]

with the buildkit github actions its super simple to implement multi-arch containers, so the Temurin migration can be uncoupled

[stevespringett]

This was an interesting exercise. I had a personal need to do this as I recently migrated my personal development machine to an Apple M1 Pro. What I found was that no Alpine images that included Java were available on ARM. So I had to make a switch from Alpine to Debian Slim, which I intended to do anyway (#1090), and at the same time, I had to find another OpenJDK distribution. Temurin is not available on Debian Slim and Debian packages are not yet available. So I migrated to Azul OpenJDK 17, which I'm using on my development machine anyway. So lots of changes were involved in getting an image that was supported on x86_64 and arm64.

Not that I have any major issue with Azul... but temurian has the 17-focal. tag, which is debian, not sure if being on a slim makes any difference when there aren't any JRE only 17 images yet.

[stevespringett]

I'm currently relying on zulu17-ca-jre-headless. IMO, this should be a short-term strategy with the intent of moving to Temurian once they support Slim and have a JRE headless distribution.
