Does code-server supports RISC-V architecture

Do we have supported package for RISC-V architecture is there any compilation steps to generate package

There is nothing official available, but if there is a Node build for RISC-V maybe running `npm install code-server` will work. Might need `export npm_config_build_from_source=true` to build from source.

Ok, Thanks @code-asher

Hi @code-asher ,

I have found unofficial Node.js builds for RISC-V on their website at https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/v18.19.0/. Additionally, for Code Server, which is built on Electron.js, we found Electron builds for RISC-V at https://github.com/riscv-forks/electron-riscv-releases/releases.

Do you have any plans to develop support for Code Server on RISC-V? If so, when can we expect this support to be available in the future any specific timeline?

[code-asher]

Just FYI, code-server depends only on Node, not Electron.

We have no plans on adding releases for RISC-V so you would need to build from source.

I think we could revisit if Node adds RISC-V as an officially supported platform though.
