I'm interested in running Lemmy on an ARM64 host, mostly just for fun and because it's possible.

I've tried a couple of things without getting it right yet:

Building from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04 This went quite well but I was unable to get pict-rs working, so there was no image hosting. I followed this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html I had to build imagemagick to get the ARM64 binary, however pict-rs did not run. Is it correct that it's included with the lemmy-server binary or am I understanding how it works wrong?

Using Docker images I was able to get Lemmy up and running using 0.17.3 ARM64 docker images (unfortunately 0.17.4 images don't exist yet). I set up an nginx reverse proxy on the host and was able to access the instance OK, however there was no connectivity between my instance and external sites. Looking in the logs I saw timeout errors:

lemmy_1     | LemmyError { message: None, inner: Request error: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out
lemmy_1     | 
lemmy_1     | Caused by:
lemmy_1     |     0: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out

So I was wondering if anybody had a guide out there to hosting Lemmy (preferably 0.17.4) on an ARM64 host, either by building it from scratch or by using Docker images. Or any other method really.

Has there been any word on when the code interpreter will be rolled out to all Plus users? Currently I believe only a small number of people have alpha access, and as far as I know there's been no word on a release date into beta (like Plugins and Bing).

I can see it's the Lemmy logo with a big LW over the top of it and coloured like the Earth. But it kind of looks like a strange, colourful fly.

Is this logo here to stay forever? I was quite fond of the simple globe that we had before.
