Description

Problem

Many architectures such as Arm and x86 are currently implemented here.

Multiple low-cost as well as high-performance riscv64 CPUs are now available.

Alpine, Ubuntu, have riscv64 images available in the Docker Hub library today.

Support for riscv64 should be added to docker-node as well.

Solution

Add riscv64 to the architectures list.
