Description of issue

can't run any of the released images on arm64 hardware.
I tried many variations and previous builds from users but not working.

UPDATE - it says it has 2.26

Have you tried using the binary compiled for Ubuntu ARM64?

postgrest-v8.0.0-ubuntu-aarch64.tar.xz

Likely you'll need to install some packages for it to work.

---

Otherwise you'd need to compile from source. Basically:

git clone https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest
cd postgrest
cabal update
cabal v2-install exe:postgrest --overwrite-policy=always

Then you can get the binary from ~/.cabal.

Welcome to Haskell!

This script will download and install the following binaries:

• ghcup - The Haskell toolchain installer
• ghc - The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
• cabal - The Cabal build tool for managing Haskell software
• stack - (optional) A cross-platform program for developing Haskell projects
• hls - (optional) A language server for developers to integrate with their editor/IDE

ghcup installs only into the following directory,
which can be removed anytime:
/home/ec2-user/.ghcup

Press ENTER to proceed or ctrl-c to abort.
Note that this script can be re-run at any given time.

Do you want to install haskell-language-server (HLS)?
HLS is a language-server that provides IDE-like functionality
and can integrate with different editors, such as Vim, Emacs, VS Code, Atom, ...

Btw, stack might also work. See: https://postgrest.org/en/v8.0/install.html#building-from-source

[johndpope]

thanks for these links @steve-chavez - I'll check it out early next week.

Detected Linux distribution: amzn

This installer doesn't support your Linux distribution, trying generic
bindist...

Sorry, currently only 64-bit (x86_64) Linux binary is available.

UPDATE
I'm looking at using glascow haskell compiler which has arm64 linux_aarch64 compatibility.

Hm, so stack is out then.

I'm looking at using glascow haskell compiler which has arm64 linux_aarch64 compatibility.
https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_2_2.html#linux_aarch64

Yes, try with direct downloads. Hope that works for you 🤞

[johndpope]

UPDATE
that does actually build - but now I'm a bit stuck on how to use it. I've actually achived what I wanted using www.supabase.io in the cloud that handles (actually runs postgrest + and posgres) for me. I do want to run this stuff bare metal though.
