Understanding Docker Image Architecture Mismatch in GitHub Actions Builds: x86_64 vs ARM/aarch64

[carry0987]

When automating builds with GitHub Actions, there is a known issue with the native support for directly compiling Docker Images on ARM architecture. The images built end up having an architecture mismatch when run on ARM systems. Despite the target platform being ARM, running the uname -a command still shows x86_64 instead of the expected ARM or aarch64. This discussion aims to delve into the causes of this problem and explore potential solutions and alternative approaches.
