!) system - added support for AMPERE (R) and ARM64 CHR installations (new ARM64 CHR image available);

As I didn’t manage to enable container support on arm64 CHR, I found another way to set device mode (on Hetzner Cloud):

Create a temporary x64 instance:


  1. Install CHR x86
  2. Enable container support
  3. Enter rescue mode
  4. Mount /dev/sda2 and copy /rw/rosmode.msg locally
  5. Remove the x64 instance

On the arm64 instance:


  1. Enter rescue mode
  2. Mount /dev/sda2 and copy rosmode.msg to /rw
  3. Reboot

Container support is now enabled:
