Docker: arm64 multi-platform images

Docker images are now built for both amd64 and arm64 architectures. Pulling any Nextclade Docker image on an ARM64 host (Apple Silicon, AWS Graviton, Raspberry Pi) now gets a native image instead of requiring emulation. See #1761, #1762.

Docker: multiple base image versions

Docker images are now published for multiple base image versions: 6 Alpine releases and 3 Debian releases, covering approximately 3 and 5 years respectively. Users can pin to a specific base version using tags like :alpine3.18 or :debian11. Unversioned tags (:alpine, :debian) point to the latest base version. See the full list of available tags and platforms on Docker Hub.

Docker: breaking changes

  • Default Debian base image changed from Debian 11 (Bullseye) to Debian 13 (Trixie). Users depending on Debian 11 can pin to :debian11.
  • Scratch image: binary moved from /nextclade to /usr/bin/nextclade. Using nextclade without a path still works. Users referencing the absolute path /nextclade should update to /usr/bin/nextclade.
