Add a Rasbberry-compatible package about mattermost_ynh HOT 13 CLOSED

It means that there is no Mattermost version for Raspeberry Pi or any other computer based on the ARM architecture, ready to be used by Yunohost packagers.
So there is 2 options:

• building ("creating") a dedicated version directly before installing it, on the Raspberry Pi. This is not possible because it doesn't have enough memory for doing that.
• someone setup it's computer to build this specific version, and send it to the others. This require quite some work and need to be done again with each new version (and they are frequent…).
  So @kemenaran is not going to do it - but if some generous person want to do it, it's fine :)

It would be neat to support Raspberry Pi instead.

The problem is that Mattermost doesn't officially supports arm architectures. Building it manually for arm should work, but the Raspberry lacks enough RAM to build it directly on the machine. It would need to be cross-compiled on an external machine, and downloaded from there.

This seems a little too much unsupported and complicated – but if someone wants to make a PR for this, I'm open to contributions :)

wtf that 's means ?

from mattermost_ynh.

yes i will dot it :!!

just need to know how ??? lol

first where to found how compile mattermost please ?
i can't found it, ?

i foun't some how to cross compile : http://jensd.be/800/linux/cross-compiling-for-arm-with-ubuntu-16-04-lts

now i need a little search please some help ?

Hi there,

cross-compiling an arm version on amd64 isn't that hard: https://github.com/SmartHoneybee/ubiquitous-memory
It's neither official nor a Yunohost package, but maybe you can use it to build what you need.

Have fun.

Regards,

Hello up to this,

this apps reallymissing on my raspberry yunohost server

from mattermost_ynh.

It seems Mattermost on a Raspberry could work. The only missing part is a buildbot that can reliably cross-compile the lastest version of Mattermost for ARM.

If someone can find or setup an ARM buildbot, I'm willing to do the work to include the arm version into the Yunohost script.

Turns out there is an ARM buildbot available here: https://github.com/SmartHoneybee/ubiquitous-memory/releases/

I guess the only missing step now would be to create an alternative app.src file, that can be updated with the latest Mattermost ARM build, and selected at runtime when running on ARM.

I'm interested in Mattermost porting to ARM, but I don't have any skills to do it.
:-(
I wish I could help !

Is there a step by step tutorial ?

from mattermost_ynh.

ARM and ARM-64 versions are now packaged, so this should work on a Raspberry Pi.
