Arm support

[hackmonker]

It is currently only amd64 supported. any chances of an arm64 image too? even m4b-tool support arm now. really want to try it out in my rpi. thanks a lot

Looks like we need to set the right dependency in the docker run command per sandreas/m4b-tool#165

I don't have any arm based hw to test.

[hackmonker]

In case you wanted it, this is my docker container for arm
https://hub.docker.com/r/hackmonker/m4b-tool.
I am using it for the old method along with organize (linux) instead of dropit (windows). works exactly like the old method but with only linux. But really wanted to bring everything together which this definitely does.

[seanap]

Does your docker work for both arm and amd64?

[hackmonker]

not sure. I mainly made it for arm but i can build for both. let me check

[hackmonker]

ok I am building it. it will work for both arm and amd

edit: tested and works for both arm and amd now

[seanap]

Sweet, when I get some time I'll create a beta branch and see what it takes to integrate the two

[hackmonker]

Any success on an arm version? just wanted to know if it is not working for some reason?

[seanap]

Sorry, I don't have an arm device to do any testing, I compared the differences between our docker run files but wasn't sure what all needed to be modified.

[hackmonker]

Oh I see. Well will try to see if I can build a container myself

@hackmonker Did you manage to get it to work on the Pi?

[nov1n]

There is an official Docker image for arm now: sandreas/m4b-tool#187

I'm also very interested in running this on a raspberry pi (arm64). Are there any updates on getting this working?

[SpencerMKSmith]

@hackmonker @seanap Very interested in getting arm64 support for this, how could I help? I have access to both hardware architectures.

[SpencerMKSmith]

Found another fork that seems to have attempted this same thing: 09d3353

Going to try pulling it to see if it works.

I modified the tracking baseimage tag to be Jammy rather than master. After doing that I was able to build on my RPi and successfully merge an audiobook. I'll give it a few more books to ensure it's running correctly, and also check it on a Windows machine, then I'll put up a PR.
