changes to compile for linux/arm64 & Apple M1

[nebucaz]

Changes to compile/run on Apple M1 silicon.
Based on changes in nebucaz/indy-sdk where fixes in postgres_storage have been implemented to be able to compile on Ubuntu 20.04 aarch64 (linux/arm64) architecture

Dockerfile.ubuntu

• added ARG platform
• FROM uses --platform attribute

make_node_image.py

• added new version 1.12a to define nebucaz/indy-sdk as sources of the indy-sdk
• changes in python script to pass platform as build-arg

Create image for arm64 platforms:
./make_node_image.py 1.12a --release --platform linux/arm64/v8 --name /von-image --py36 -t /von-image:node-1.12-4-arm64 -f node-1.12/Dockerfile.ubuntu --push

Create image for amd64 platforms:
./make_node_image.py 1.12a --release --platform linux/amd64 --name /von-image --py36 -t /von-image:node-1.12-4-amd64 -f node-1.12/Dockerfile.ubuntu --push

Tests:

• successfully built for arm64
• run von-network
• wrote endorser DID
• created walled

Please re-test creation of amd64 image because it does not work on my Apple M1

Hello @nebucaz and @WadeBarnes. I wonder if you found the necessary resources for moving this forward. I'm sure other Aries learners like me are stuck with this compatibility problem and it would be of great help if von-image could be built for arm64 chips. thanks so much for your priceless support.

[WadeBarnes]

@vectoria-org, It's a matter of building and testing images that support multiple architectures, and starting with the base images and moving up. The work needed is a known quantity. What is delaying things, at least for me, is a lack of time. Other priorities keep getting put ahead of this work.

[WadeBarnes]

Images with multi-architecture support are now published as part of the ACA-py release process. Refer to the release notes on ACA-py v0.8.0-rc0 for details.
