Add riscv64 Architecture Support for Docker Image #274

Description

@rodneyosodo

Problem Statement

Currently, the official docker.io/nats Docker image does not include support for the riscv64 architecture. This limits the ability to run Nats on newer RISC-V platforms and development boards that are increasingly being adopted in edge and research environments.

Solution Brainstorm

  • Add riscv64 as a target platform in the build pipeline (e.g., using docker buildx or ko multi-arch builds).
  • Optionally, provide experimental images until CI/CD runners with riscv64 become stable.

Use Case

  • Running Nats on RISC-V edge devices for confidential or decentralised authorisation setups.
  • Testing multi-architecture orchestration setups using Docker or Kubernetes on RISC-V clusters.
