## Issue Addressed Closes #2938 ## Proposed Changes * Build and publish images with a `-modern` suffix which enable CPU optimizations for modern hardware. * Add docs for the plethora of available images! * Unify all the Docker workflows in `docker.yml` (including for tagged releases). ## Additional Info The `Dockerfile` is no longer used by our Docker Hub builds, as we use `cross` and a generic approach for ARM and x86. There's a new CI job `docker-build-from-source` which tests the `Dockerfile` without publishing anything.

# Cross-compiling
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse supports cross-compiling, allowing users to run a binary on one
|
|
platform (e.g., `aarch64`) that was compiled on another platform (e.g.,
|
|
`x86_64`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Cross-compiling requires [`Docker`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/),
|
|
[`rustembedded/cross`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) and for the
|
|
current user to be in the `docker` group.
|
|
|
|
The binaries will be created in the `target/` directory of the Lighthouse
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
### Targets
|
|
|
|
The `Makefile` in the project contains four targets for cross-compiling:
|
|
|
|
- `build-x86_64`: builds an optimized version for x86_64 processors (suitable for most users).
|
|
- `build-x86_64-portable`: builds a version for x86_64 processors which avoids using some modern CPU
|
|
instructions that are incompatible with older CPUs.
|
|
- `build-aarch64`: builds an optimized version for 64-bit ARM processors (suitable for Raspberry Pi 4).
|
|
- `build-aarch64-portable`: builds a version for 64-bit ARM processors which avoids using some
|
|
modern CPU instructions. In practice, very few ARM processors lack the instructions necessary to
|
|
run the faster non-portable build.
|
|
|
|
For more information about optimized vs portable builds see
|
|
[Portability](./installation-binaries.md#portability).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd lighthouse
|
|
make build-aarch64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `lighthouse` binary will be compiled inside a Docker container and placed
|
|
in `lighthouse/target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release`.
