+# STRATO Platform - GitHub Actions Build
+
+This fork includes GitHub Actions workflows to build the STRATO platform on x86_64 runners, solving Apple Silicon compatibility issues.
+
+## Workflows
+
+### 1. Main Build (`build.yml`)
+- **Purpose**: Builds the complete STRATO platform on x86_64
+- **Triggers**: Push to main/master, Pull Requests
+- **What it does**:
+  - Builds the buildbase Docker image
+  - Compiles all Haskell components
+  - Creates Docker images for all services
+  - Generates docker-compose files
+  - Tests basic functionality
+
+### 2. ARM64 Test (`build-arm64.yml`)
+- **Purpose**: Tests ARM64 compatibility for Apple Silicon
+- **Triggers**: Push to main/master, Pull Requests
+- **What it does**:
+  - Tests ARM64 builds using QEMU emulation
+  - Identifies packages with ARM64 compatibility issues
+  - Reports on Apple Silicon readiness
+
+## How to Use
+
+### For Apple Silicon Users:
+1. **Fork this repository** to your GitHub account
+2. **Push changes** to trigger builds
+3. **Download built images** from the Actions artifacts
+4. **Run locally** using the generated docker-compose files
+
+### Building Locally on Apple Silicon:
+```bash
+# Pull the pre-built x86_64 images
+docker pull ghcr.io/YOUR_USERNAME/strato:latest
+docker pull ghcr.io/YOUR_USERNAME/highway:latest
+docker pull ghcr.io/YOUR_USERNAME/vault-wrapper:latest
+docker pull ghcr.io/YOUR_USERNAME/identity-provider:latest
+
+# Run using docker-compose
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+## ARM64 Compatibility Status
+
+Some packages may not build on ARM64 due to:
+- C dependencies without ARM64 support
+- Platform-specific optimizations
+- Missing ARM64 configurations
+
+This is normal for Haskell projects with native dependencies.
+
+## Contributing
+
+1. Fork this repository
+2. Make your changes
+3. Push to trigger GitHub Actions
+4. Submit a pull request back to the original repository
+
+## Benefits
+
+- ✅ **Free builds** on GitHub Actions (2,000 minutes/month)
+- ✅ **x86_64 compatibility** guaranteed
+- ✅ **No local build issues** on Apple Silicon
+- ✅ **Automated testing** on every push
+- ✅ **Easy deployment** with pre-built images
