When I build the docker image from source using build-docker-full, it seems the image only works on amd64 systems.
Is there an easy way to build this for arm64?
Platform variable is hardcoded in the Makefile. So try to edit it.

So i changed line 169 of the makefile to linux/arm64/v8 as shown here:
##@ Docker
TAG_SUFFIX=$(if $(WIRE_TAGS)!=oss,-$(WIRE_TAGS))
PLATFORM=linux/arm64/v8
build-docker-full: ## Build Docker image for development.
@echo "build docker container"
tar -ch . | \
docker buildx build - \
--platform $(PLATFORM) \
--build-arg BINGO=false \
--build-arg GO_BUILD_TAGS=$(GO_BUILD_TAGS) \
--build-arg WIRE_TAGS=$(WIRE_TAGS) \
--build-arg COMMIT_SHA=$$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
--build-arg BUILD_BRANCH=$$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) \
--tag grafana/grafana$(TAG_SUFFIX):935arm \
$(DOCKER_BUILD_ARGS)
but i get the following build errors, any ideas what this might mean?
type or paste cobuild docker container
tar -ch . | \
docker buildx build - \
--platform linux/arm64/v8 \
--build-arg BINGO=false \
--build-arg GO_BUILD_TAGS= \
--build-arg WIRE_TAGS="oss" \
--build-arg COMMIT_SHA=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
--build-arg BUILD_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) \
--tag grafana/grafana-"oss":935arm \

Dunno - are you building on amd64 machine? I would try to run plain docker build on that arm64 machine directly.
Did you download zipfile of the git repo or did git clone?
thanks! appears to be working, unfortunately im building on a pi and im not sure it will finish in this lifetime (10hrs so far) 
i think ill have to set up an arm vm or something.
also, in the dockerfile i changed
#ARG JS_PLATFORM=linux/amd64
ARG JS_PLATFORM=linux/arm64/v8
and in the makefile
##@ Docker
TAG_SUFFIX=$(if $(WIRE_TAGS)!=oss,-$(WIRE_TAGS))
#PLATFORM=linux/amd64
PLATFORM=linux/arm64/v8
update: unfortunately this did not work after all, it just took much longer to reach an error than when building on my desktop
I would use free tier Oracle OCI Ampere instance (it is arm, but I think not exactly arm64/v8) for quick testing - you will have much more power (4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory) to test it before running on slow RPI.
IMHO you can build frontend part on any platform (output is just html/css/js), but backend (golang) must be built for arm64/v8. Check makefile and you may find right commands (but it won’t be easy way as you requested in the original post).
