For some platforms, envoy is only distributed via docker images.

This repo contains:

• a utility to extract envoy binaries from upstream container images
• releases to house the envoy binary assets in an easily accessible place

When a release tag is created, the envoy binaries will be automatically extracted from the matching envoyproxy/envoy image tag and uploaded to the release.

Currently there's no way to run a github action on darwin/arm64, so the build must be done manually:

1. Clone envoyproxy/envoy

   git clone [email protected]:envoyproxy/envoy

2. Checkout the release tag

   git checkout v1.23.0

3. Build

   bazelisk build -c "opt" //source/exe:envoy-static --config=sizeopt

4. Wait a very long time.
5. Copy binary

   cp -f bazel-bin/source/exe/envoy-static ~/Downloads/envoy-darwin-arm64

6. Produce shasum

   shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/envoy-darwin-arm64 > ~/Downloads/envoy-darwin-arm64.sha256

7. Drag & Drop the files to the release
