How To Make Rust Multi-Arch Release Easy
Blog post from Qovery
GoReleaser is a versatile tool for Go that simplifies the process of compiling binaries across multiple architectures, creating releases, and managing repositories for different operating systems like Linux, MacOS, and Windows. The author attempted to utilize GoReleaser with Rust, expecting similar ease, but found the process more complex and lacking in ready-to-use solutions. To address this, they developed a template that integrates GoReleaser with GitHub Actions to facilitate multi-architecture binary building for Rust projects. This involves setting up a GitHub workflow to handle the compilation and release process, using Docker for cross-compilation, and configuring GoReleaser to manage the packaging and release workflow, including a workaround for Rust by creating an empty Go project. The template aims to streamline the setup process for developers looking to harness GoReleaser's capabilities with Rust, promoting its adoption in the Rust community.
