Release: would be possible to statically compile to a single binary file?

rust-lang/rust#24777

I'm not an expert, but do you think would be possible to have as release artifacts also a binary?

Thanks for opening this issue!
Currently, there is a Dockerfile which can be used for creating Docker images as part of the release process. See https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/usage.md#docker for usage example.

Yes I'm using docker in my CI pipeline, the fact is installing rust and building electrs each time is a bit of no-op. Would love to have the binary already built at least for linux.

I would try myself to do it and see if possible

Here, just to demonstrate for Linux.

Of course, signing and other machinery would be needed
