Static binaries for dendrite?

[lammel]

Is there a chance to build static binaries for dendrite?
I'm pretty used to just building a static binary with go and copy it to a server.
As some parts are depending on C libraries (e.g. sqlite) requiring CGO for buiding. So all produced binaries are dynamically linked against libc which requires the same libc to be available on the target system.

Did anyone attempt static builds already?

You could try go build -ldflags="-extldflags=-static", but you might still run into problems with different glibc versions.

You could also try combining the above with installing musl, telling Go to use the musl-gcc compiler by setting the CC variable when running go build.
