February 2025 monthly summary for opencloud-eu/opencloud focused on delivering cross-architecture build capabilities and simplifying the Docker build pipeline. The team implemented experimental multi-architecture Docker build support enabling ARM64 and AMD64 deployment through a new Makefile target and an adjusted Dockerfile. In parallel, the Docker image build process was streamlined by removing the generate stap step, adding a pre-build prompt for multi-arch builds, and removing the Node.js multi-arch build stage. This combination reduces build complexity, accelerates cross-platform deployments, and enhances maintainability across environments.
