Are there any plans to create a docker container for Kustainer / Data Explorer emulator that is compatible with MacOS on arm64?

Question

Hi everybody. As the title says, I would greatly appreciate to use the Kustainer image on my Mac with M1 processor. I can run the linux container but it fails with an exception:

/kusto/Kusto.Personal /
Kusto.Personal: Exception: [TypeInitializationException]: Type=Kusto.Cloud.Platform.Utils.Anchor, InnerException=Function not implemented
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Kusto.Cloud.Platform.Utils.Anchor' threw an exception.
