Multi-platform Support for InfluxDB v1 on Docker/Helm ( linux/arm64 )

[GotoRen]

Use case:

Currently, when using the InfluxDB Helm Charts with Docker-Desktop Kubernetes Engine, the influxdb:1.8.10-alpine image is automatically selected. However, the container registry does not contain a Docker image that supports ARM-based operating systems.

• https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb/tags

Proposal:

Provide an official Docker image for InfluxDB v1 that supports linux/arm64.
Update the Helm charts to allow users to select the architecture-specific image versions.

Current behaviour:

Desired behaviour:
With the growing number of ARM-based devices, especially with the popularity of ARM-based servers and developer boards, having multi-platform support becomes increasingly important. The flexibility to run InfluxDB v1 on these devices would greatly broaden its usability and appeal.

Alternatives considered:
The best approach for cases where InfluxDB v1 needs to be used would be to build the image manually. Although switching to InfluxDB v2 is an option, it is not compatible with InfluxDB v1.

I believe it is crucial for the InfluxDB v1 Docker image to support multi-platform ( more specifically, linux/arm64 ).

Thank you for considering this request!
