Build the arm64 images with an arm64 binary - #11
Merged

Conversation
The release workflow builds linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, but under QEMU an arm64 build succeeds even when the Dockerfile compiles for amd64, and the published arm64 image then cannot start. On pull requests, build every image for both platforms and compare the ELF machine of the binary inside with the platform. Nothing is pushed.
The three Dockerfiles hardcoded GOARCH=amd64, so the linux/arm64 images of autoconfig, autoconfig-reload and autoconfig-hagate published by the multi-platform release build contained amd64 binaries and could not start on arm64 nodes. Take GOARCH from TARGETARCH, which buildx sets to the platform being built; a plain docker build leaves it empty and Go builds for the host as before.

Problem
The published
linux/arm64image of4pdosc/autoconfig, autoconfig-reload and autoconfig-hagatecontains an amd64 binary, so it cannot start on arm64 nodes. The Dockerfiles hardcodeGOARCH=amd64; the release workflow builds arm64 under QEMU, where that build still succeeds.Checked on the registry by reading the ELF header of the entrypoint in each platform of the index (all three images, :latest = 0.4.1): the arm64 entry is
x86-64.Change
GOARCHfromTARGETARCH, which buildx sets to the platform being built. A plaindocker buildleaves it empty and Go builds for the host, as before.image-checkworkflow on pull requests: builds every image forlinux/amd64andlinux/arm64and fails if the binary's ELF machine does not match the platform. Nothing is pushed.Testing
The check was pushed first on its own, against the unchanged Dockerfiles, to confirm it fails on arm64; the fix follows in the next commit and the check passes. Once a release is cut, the published arm64 image should report
AArch64.
