Description

Description
I understand that currently the node is mostly used within a Docker container and this is good. Addicionally, I saw that in the development documentation there are instructions on how to locally compile the Go source code into a binary.

But would be a good feature to have the binary compiled and published as artifacts on the release page. This would allow different methods to orchestrate, specially in environments where Docker is not an option.

Research direction

Start with the development documentation instructions for compiling the Go source and inspect the repository's existing release process. Define the supported binary targets and publish the compiled artifacts on the release page, with a release producing downloadable binaries that work outside Docker.
