Proposal: Fixing Steemd Build Dependencies in the Latest OS

Update: Fix Steem Build - Definitely Not An Easy Task

I've created an issue here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/3691#issuecomment-2785025425

SPS

The initial work for this project is expected to begin around 9 May 2025. Planned tasks include:

• Add a Dockerfile for Ubuntu 22.04
• Add a Dockerfile for Ubuntu 24.04
• Add a Dockerfile for Azure Linux 3
• Write a README with local build instructions
• Integrated with CI (need help from steemit team)
• Fixing code issues

Estimation

Fixing issues may take time — it's a tedious but important process that requires attention to detail. Let's demonstrate to investors that active development is ongoing through consistent GitHub activity.

It takes more time to test and get PR merged.

Why 3 OS?

Supporting the software across multiple OS variants is always a plus. In my experience, many users prefer not to rely on Docker.
