Can you please add support for armv7
uname -a= Linux 4.14.79-v7+ #1159 SMP Sun Nov 4 17:50:20 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

was trying to compile but I hit the wall with this error.

Just saw your edit. You built it successfully, it’s just not installed in your PATH. Try “./mkcert”.

It seems that RPi 2/3 is supported. I just cross compiled the latest version.

For RPi 2/3 you can do the following:

bash
# On build machine
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert.git
GOARM=7 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build -o "mkcert-$(git describe --tags)-linux-arm7"

# cp the resulting binary mkcert-<version>-linux-arm7 to RPi and rename it to mkcert
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
sudo install mkcert /usr/local/bin

@FiloSottile maybe we can add the arm7 build artifact/binary to the release?
It seems to work fine for the latest Raspbian OS.

Done. Picked GOARM=6 to support all RPi models.

@FiloSottile - I noticed the latest release for arm doesn't specify v7... mkcert-v1.4.2-linux-arm
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi 2/3? Or do I need to generate something different than what you have listed on your Releases page?

@erosenberg It should be compatible - the incentive for using v6 is to make the resulting binary more compatible in order to run on older RPi models. But if you wish, you can recompile it for v7 - it can give you a little bit of (negligible) speedup.
