Request for steps to build qdrant for arm.

[chiru-arh]

Hello,
I'm exploring the way to cross compile qdrant for arm64 architecture. Are there any steps for this. Kindly help me with this information.
Thank you

While we don't have instructions for this ready (because we don't do this directly), we do cross compile our Docker image for ARM64 somewhere in our pipeline.

If building a Docker image is sufficient, this may help:

qdrant/.github/workflows/docker-image.yml

Lines 25 to 55 in c6a351c

	# Create build container
	docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes
	docker buildx create --use
	# Authenticate on registries

	docker pull $DOCKERHUB_TAG_UNPRIVILEGED
	docker tag $DOCKERHUB_TAG_UNPRIVILEGED $GITHUB_TAG_UNPRIVILEGED
	docker push $GITHUB_TAG_UNPRIVILEGED

Otherwise I recommend to look up more general guides for cross compilation in Rust.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not planning to build docker image. I want to build from source for arm 64. I'll check more on cross compilation in Rust. If any other helpful guide or information is there on this, kindly do let me know.
