M1 Compatibility

[humandecoded]

Currently, the build process is only tested on Intel arch. Can it work if we run it on M1 macs?

One potential issue is that debos appears to either not support ARM64 arch, or at minimum, is a bit hackey to get running.

go-debos/debos#386

Yeah. I seem to remember that from the last time I looked in to this. Might be worth looking at the Kali builds and see how they are doing it...(a few moments later)...Looks like they only offer VM builds for Intel but offer installer ISOs for M1 mac. So may just have to update our current M1 build repo to mirror the functionality of this one. Shouldn't be too hard once we get this one where we want it

They have Kali for ARM, maybe we can have another repo just for ARM? we will customize our script accordingly as well as the build processes

I think is what we'll end up doing. We've been able to do arm builds previously

but don't think we're able to do that with this workflow

M1 builds are currently live over at https://github.com/tracelabs/Trace-Labs-VM-M1-Mac-Build
The best option we have now is to generate an ISO and install from there. We could go through the process of exporting a VMware compatible image but that would put us right back where we were with the original repo
