Technical descriptions

We use github actions and github packages to build and deploy a multi arch docker image.
Currently the supported arch are armv7, arm64 and x64.

Image creation steps

• use _/Alpine as base
• install several packages such as dependencies (sqlite, ssl, ect...) and compilers/interpreters (gcc, g++, nodejs)
• clone official Nim repo and checkout a specific tag
• compile and install nim into /nim

How to add and use the latest Nim version

• Fork the repo
• Enable the github actions in your own forked repo
• Edit the github actions file to checkout the newest version tag
• Commit and wait for the github actions to successfully build an image
• Create a pull request
