Research direction

Start by reading rootless-install.sh and reproducing uname -m on the affected Debian/Armbian setup. Check that architecture selection produces the Docker static URL's armhf path instead of armv7l, then verify the script can download the required files.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Dear authors,

I'm using Debian 11-based distro called armbian and I would like to install rootless docker. When the script tries to download the needed files, for example:
STATIC_RELEASE_URL="https://download.docker.com/linux/static/$CHANNEL/$(uname -m)/docker-${STABLE_LATEST}.tgz"

"uname -m" prints "armv7l" instead of the available versions to download (aarch64, armel, armhf, ppc64le, ...) and the script cannot find it. In my case, my correct selection is "armhf" and I will replace it in the script. I write this issue to be taken into account in future releases of this script.

Best regards and thank you for the effort
