Nick Craig-Wood 578b9df6ea build: fix docker build on arm/v6
Unexpectedly the team which runs the Go docker images have removed the
arm/v6 image which means that the rclone docker images no longer
build.

One of the recommended fixes is what we've done here - switch to the
alpine builder. This has the advantage that it actually builds arm/v6
architecture unlike the previous builder which build arm/v5.

# Release
This file describes how to make the various kinds of releases
## Extra required software for making a release
* [gh the github cli](https://github.com/cli/cli) for uploading packages
* pandoc for making the html and man pages
## Making a release
* git checkout master # see below for stable branch
* git pull # IMPORTANT
* git status - make sure everything is checked in
* Check GitHub actions build for master is Green
* make test # see integration test server or run locally
* make tag
* edit docs/content/changelog.md # make sure to remove duplicate logs from point releases
* make tidy
* make doc
* git status - to check for new man pages - git add them
* git commit -a -v -m "Version v1.XX.0"
* make retag
* git push origin # without --follow-tags so it doesn't push the tag if it fails
* git push --follow-tags origin
* # Wait for the GitHub builds to complete then...
* make fetch_binaries
* make tarball
* make vendorball
* make sign_upload
* make check_sign
* make upload
* make upload_website
* make upload_github
* make startdev # make startstable for stable branch
* # announce with forum post, twitter post, patreon post
## Update dependencies
Early in the next release cycle update the dependencies
* Review any pinned packages in go.mod and remove if possible
* make updatedirect
* make GOTAGS=cmount
* make compiletest
* git commit -a -v
* make update
* make GOTAGS=cmount
* make compiletest
* roll back any updates which didn't compile
* git commit -a -v --amend
* **NB** watch out for this changing the default go version in `go.mod`
Note that `make update` updates all direct and indirect dependencies
and there can occasionally be forwards compatibility problems with
doing that so it may be necessary to roll back dependencies to the
version specified by `make updatedirect` in order to get rclone to
build.
## Tidy beta
At some point after the release run
bin/tidy-beta v1.55
where the version number is that of a couple ago to remove old beta binaries.
## Making a point release
If rclone needs a point release due to some horrendous bug:
Set vars
* BASE_TAG=v1.XX # e.g. v1.52
* NEW_TAG=${BASE_TAG}.Y # e.g. v1.52.1
* echo $BASE_TAG $NEW_TAG # v1.52 v1.52.1
First make the release branch. If this is a second point release then
this will be done already.
* git co -b ${BASE_TAG}-stable ${BASE_TAG}.0
* make startstable
Now
* git co ${BASE_TAG}-stable
* git cherry-pick any fixes
* Do the steps as above
* make startstable
* git co master
* `#` cherry pick the changes to the changelog - check the diff to make sure it is correct
* git checkout ${BASE_TAG}-stable docs/content/changelog.md
* git commit -a -v -m "Changelog updates from Version ${NEW_TAG}"
* git push
## Sponsor logos
If updating the website note that the sponsor logos have been moved out of the main repository.
You will need to checkout `/docs/static/img/logos` from https://github.com/rclone/third-party-logos
which is a private repo containing artwork from sponsors.
## Update the website between releases
Create an update website branch based off the last release
git co -b update-website
If the branch already exists, double check there are no commits that need saving.
Now reset the branch to the last release
git reset --hard v1.64.0
Create the changes, check them in, test with `make serve` then
make upload_test_website
Check out https://test.rclone.org and when happy
make upload_website
Cherry pick any changes back to master and the stable branch if it is active.
## Making a manual build of docker
To do a basic build of rclone's docker image to debug builds locally:
```
docker buildx build --load -t rclone/rclone:testing --progress=plain .
docker run --rm rclone/rclone:testing version
```
To test the multipatform build
```
docker buildx build -t rclone/rclone:testing --progress=plain --platform linux/amd64,linux/386,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm/v6 .
```
To make a full build then set the tags correctly and add `--push`
```
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/386,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 -t rclone/rclone:1.54.1 -t rclone/rclone:1.54 -t rclone/rclone:1 -t rclone/rclone:latest --push .
```
