hi,

i am using this

root@instance-20211112-2005:/opt/lemmy/lemmy/docker# cat Dockerfile.arm64
FROM rust:1.70.0 as builder
WORKDIR /app

COPY . .

# This can be set to release using --build-arg
ARG RUST_RELEASE_MODE="debug"

COPY . .

# Build the project

# Debug mode build
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/app/target \
    if [ "$RUST_RELEASE_MODE" = "debug" ] ; then \
      echo "pub const VERSION: &str = \"$(git describe --tag)\";" > "crates/utils/src/version.rs" \
      && cargo build \
      && cp ./target/$RUST_RELEASE_MODE/lemmy_server /app/lemmy_server; \
    fi

# Release mode build
RUN \
    if [ "$RUST_RELEASE_MODE" = "release" ] ; then \
      echo "pub const VERSION: &str = \"$(git describe --tag)\";" > "crates/utils/src/version.rs" \
      && cargo build --release \
      && cp ./target/$RUST_RELEASE_MODE/lemmy_server /app/lemmy_server; \
    fi

FROM debian:bullseye-slim
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libpq5 ca-certificates && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

COPY --from=builder /app/lemmy_server /app/lemmy

CMD ["/app/lemmy"]

Also Lemmy developers are working on cross build - so it should be available in the future I hope :)
