Hello! Unfortunately, Mattermost is not supported on the ARM(x) architecture, so you will be unable to use any official build or composition of the software as long as you are deploying it from an ARM arch. However, if you are really interested in deploying on ARM there are various unofficial builds that have been created by third parties that can be found on Github that are supposed to work for your architecture.

> Is there an “approved build method” that doesn’t involve using x86 docker containers? I’d like to build this for the ARM platform :).
