io.github.netdata/netdata/packaging-static-installer
Build a static, self-extracting Netdata installer (`netdata-<arch>-latest.gz.run`) from this checkout for x86_64, aarch64, armv6l, or armv7l. Use when the user asks to build, produce, package, or test a static binary, makeself installer, `.gz.run` artifact, or "static install" of Netdata; when verifying a PR by deploying it to a Linux machine without a native build toolchain; when reproducing a CI static-builder issue locally. Covers the docker-based build flow under `packaging/makeself/`, mandatory pre-flight checks (submodule init, fresh `netdata/static-builder:v1` image), the 18 ordered jobs the build runs, output artifact layout, the `artifacts/cache/` reuse model, cross-arch QEMU caveats, debug builds, common failures with their fixes, and how to copy/verify the artifact on a target host.
