We are changing the way we distribute our software, we have been working to streamline our release process, so you can enjoy a wide variety of installation options that should cover your needs.
From now on, we will be publishing new multi-platform binaries to Github Releases for Bor and Heimdall, with packages for Redhat, Debian, and Alpine based systems.
We are also publishing multi-platform docker images to Docker Hub, but we are switching the Org from maticnetwork to 0xpolygon, so be sure to grab the new images from https://hub.docker.com/u/0xpolygon from now on but we still maintain the builds on https://hub.docker.com/u/maticnetwork during some time to let you adapt.
