Support arm64

[anderius]

Feature Overview

I am unable to run the nginx agent on Rancher on Mac with arm64 architecture.

It would be nice if that was possible. The list of what is supported is here: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-agent/technical-specifications/

Thank you for reporting this, @anderius Could you please provide more details about your environment and the use case you are trying to setup?

Thanks

My team is developing a developer platform in the cloud, and to enable local development, we use Rancher Desktop locally on our developer machines, which are arm64.

When enabling the agent on arm64, we get the following in the log, and are unable to get the agent to work:

2025/03/04 11:24:01 [emerg] 38#38: io_setup() failed (38: Function not implemented)

Unfortunalety, the error messages from Nginx are not very good, so it is not directly evident that this is from the agent, although they only appear when we enable the agent.

Hi @anderius , that log message is from NGINX and agent won't work if the underlying NGINX is not functioning. Do you still require assistance with this?

I no longer work on the project that configured Nginx, but we ended up not using Instance Manager at all (for other reasons, as it worked on amd64).

I guess arm64-support still is an issue. The Nginx itself was working on arm64, but only without the agent.

We would not need this, but I guess others might. Feel free to close it.
