#### Creating a Standalone Release

Part of the build process involves creating standalone releases. At the time of
writing, we do this for the following platforms/architectures:

- Linux amd64 (.tar.gz, .deb, and .rpm)
- Linux arm64 (.tar.gz, .deb, and .rpm)
- Linux arm7l (.tar.gz)
- Linux armhf.deb
- Linux armhf.rpm
- macOS amd64 (Intel-based)

Currently, these are compiled in CI using the `yarn release-standalone` command
in the `release.yaml` workflow. We then upload them to the draft release and
distribute via GitHub Releases.
