What this PR does

This brings together four approved PRs that give the remaining first-party images an arm64 build. Each of them lost its approval when #4498 merged and GitHub retargeted it to main, so I merged them into one branch to review and approve once. Each original PR has the full description and review history, and I'll close them in favour of this one.

Release builds still run with PLATFORM=linux/amd64, except the Talos installer, so these images ship arm64 only once #4505 adds the arm64 leg. This PR makes that leg buildable.

A few commits are new on top of the originals. The velero test no longer pins the plugin's image string, because the release build stamps its own rebuild over it. It now checks the plugin init container by repository name. A promote-retag test comment now says what it guards, and the image-refs doc no longer calls its fixed gaps open. The merge with main keeps the Harbor portal in the list of stages whose output has no architecture.

Screenshots

Not a UI change.

Downstream repositories

I left every box empty and opened nothing in other repositories. Two repositories are touched, and neither follow-up is needed before this merges:

Release note

feat(talos): the Talos installer image is built for amd64 and arm64, with arm64 profiles that carry drbd and zfs, and the bootbox matchbox image network-boots arm64 machines as well as amd64 ones. Releases publish the arm64 Talos ISO, disk images, kernel and initramfs.
feat(velero): the KubeVirt Velero plugin is now built in-tree for amd64 and arm64, so the velero server starts on arm64 clusters.
build: flux-plunger, keycloak-operator, kilo and migration-controller are now rebuilt by CI like every other first-party image, so their pinned images pick up source patches and base-image updates and are published for amd64 and arm64.
feat(harbor): the Harbor application now runs on arm64 nodes. Its component images are rebuilt from the pinned upstream v2.15.1 release for amd64 and arm64, because upstream publishes v2.15 images for amd64 only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Talos images and boot assets now support both AMD64 and ARM64, including architecture-specific installation and cloud images.
    • Added build support for Harbor components and the KubeVirt Velero plugin.
    • Nightly builds now include ARM64 release assets.
  • Improvements
    • Harbor uses pinned chart and image versions, with built image references recorded automatically.
    • Added checks to catch image packages missing from the main build and to verify multi-architecture installer output.

Cozystack runs on arm64 nodes, but the Talos assets it builds are
amd64 only, so arm64 clusters have to use an Image Factory schematic
instead of the cozystack build.

The arm64 profiles install drbd and zfs, which Cozystack needs, plus
the firmware of the PCIe NICs whose drivers the arm64 Talos kernel
carries. x86 CPU microcode is useless there, and the arm64 builds of
amdgpu and i915 are empty. The generator checks every listed extension
for a build of the target arch so an upstream change fails generation
rather than the imager. The amd64 profiles keep their names and
content.

The package pinned linux/amd64 because its assets were amd64 only.
With arm64 profiles it follows PLATFORM like every other image.

The installer is published as one index under every tag. skopeo
cannot assemble an index from the imager's docker archives, so the
archives go into one OCI layout and a small script writes the index
there for skopeo to push. buildx could build it from OCI layout
sources, but the release job builds on the classic docker driver,
which has no such source.

matchbox carries the kernel and initramfs of both arches whatever
PLATFORM is, rather than those of TARGETARCH: the node matchbox runs
on is not the arch of the machines it boots, so a per-arch image would
hand an amd64 machine an arm64 kernel whenever the pod lands on an
arm64 node. The amd64 assets stay at their old paths, and a group
keyed on the arch iPXE reports sends arm64 machines to the arm64 ones.

The talos package now builds for every arch in PLATFORM, and the jobs
that build it without setting PLATFORM would pick up arm64 as well:
the PR Talos build, the nightly disk and the release assets. None of
them has a consumer for arm64 output, since e2e boots amd64 and the
release publishes the amd64 assets only, so each one pins amd64 the
way the image builds already do.

The build notes said the talos package pins linux/amd64, which no
longer holds and would steer an agent into re-adding the pin.

arm64 users can only take the Talos ISO, disk images, kernel and
initramfs from the Image Factory today, because a release carries the
amd64 ones only. The tag build now builds the assets for both arches
and uploads the arm64 set next to the amd64 one under the same naming.

It also pushes the talos installer image as a two-arch index, because
a node installed from the arm64 assets pulls its installer from that
image. The rest of the build stays amd64.

Upstream publishes quay.io/kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-plugin for amd64
only, so on an arm64 cluster the velero server never starts: its
plugin init container fails with "exec format error". Rebuild the
plugin in-tree from the v0.9.0 release tag, cross-compiled on the
build platform, into an image that behaves like upstream's: it copies
the plugin binary into the plugins volume at /target.

The image target stamps the built reference by digest into
values.yaml, and the package joins the root build list so every build
path refreshes that pin. Until the first stamp is committed the
upstream reference stays in place, which the chart test accepts
alongside the digest-pinned in-tree one.

Signed-off-by: Aleksei Sviridkin <[email protected]>
The image target stamped only `tag`, leaving the committed
`registry: ghcr.io` in place, so a build against the CI registry would
render the public host with a digest that exists only in the build
registry. Stamping the build host into `registry` instead would split
the source registry across two keys, where the nightly mirror's
substring host rewrite cannot reach it and the published tree would
keep pointing at the private registry.

Set `registry: ""` and keep the whole host in `repository`, stamped
by the image target. The upstream chart joins the two keys, so the
rendered image string is unchanged, and the ref now has the same
shape as every other stamped reference the mirror and promotion
already handle.

flux-plunger, keycloak-operator, kilo and migration-controller have
image targets but were missing from the root build list, which the
build matrix, the main build and release preparation all iterate. No
CI path rebuilt them, so their pins stayed on images pushed by hand
while Dockerfile, patch and base-image changes never shipped, and the
multi-arch pre-release build would find single-arch pins it cannot
replace. migration-controller shipped a bare :latest with no digest.

Add the four packages, and a test that derives the set from the
package Makefiles so a new image target cannot be left out again.

Upstream publishes the Harbor v2.15 component images for amd64 only,
so every Harbor pod crash-loops with "exec format error" on an arm64
node. The multi-arch build upstream exists on main but is in no
release yet, so the package now rebuilds the pinned v2.15.1 release
itself: the Go components cross-compile on the build platform, the
registry and the Trivy adapter build from the tags upstream's Makefile
pins, the Trivy binary is fetched per architecture against its release
checksum, and the runtime images keep upstream's photon base, users
and entrypoints. The build fails when those registry and Trivy pins,
the swagger generator or the golang and node build images no longer
match upstream's Makefile at the pinned release, so a version bump
cannot pair a new core with an old registry, scanner or toolchain.

The portal compiles to static JS, so it lives in its own Dockerfile
listed as architecture-neutral in the cross-compile check, and takes
the release pin from the main one so both files build the same
commit.

Because values.yaml now pins the images, `make update` pins the chart
release that ships the same Harbor version and fails when its
appVersion differs, instead of pulling the newest chart onto old
images. Renovate stops proposing tag bumps for the rebuild's build
bases, which follow upstream's toolchain for that release.

The committed refs stay on the upstream digests until CI stamps the
rebuilt ones.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds ARM64 Talos assets and installer indexing, expands root image build targets, and adds Harbor and Velero image build paths. It also changes Keycloak image references and adds tests for nightly mirror rewriting.

Changes

Talos multi-architecture assets

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate architecture-specific Talos profiles
packages/core/talos/hack/gen-profiles.sh, packages/core/talos/images/talos/profiles/*-arm64.yaml
Profile generation now selects architecture-specific extensions and inputs. ARM64 profiles define installer, initramfs, ISO, kernel, metal, and nocloud outputs.
Add ARM64 Matchbox boot configuration
packages/core/talos/images/matchbox/*, packages/extra/bootbox/templates/matchbox/configmaps.yaml
Matchbox includes ARM64 kernel and initramfs assets. ARM64 group and profile configuration selects them for ARM64 nodes.
Build, index, and publish Talos architectures
packages/core/talos/Makefile, packages/core/talos/hack/installer-index.sh, hack/talos-installer-index_test.bats, hack/common-envs_test.bats, hack/image-targets-pass-buildx-args.bats, .github/workflows/{nightly,pull-requests,tags}.yaml, hack/upload-assets.sh, docs/agents/overview.md
Talos asset builds follow PLATFORM or its default, and installer images are indexed for the selected architectures. Workflow settings, release uploads, and tests cover architecture selection and publication.

Package image builds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and configure Harbor images
packages/system/harbor/Makefile, packages/system/harbor/images/*/Dockerfile, packages/system/harbor/values.yaml, .github/renovate.json, hack/image-builders-cross-compile.bats
Harbor gains pinned chart and component versions, image build recipes, and digest-based image references. Dockerfiles build the Harbor components and portal; Renovate disables version updates while allowing digest refreshes.
Build the KubeVirt Velero plugin image
packages/system/velero/Makefile, packages/system/velero/images/kubevirt-velero-plugin/Dockerfile, packages/system/velero/tests/velero_test.yaml
The package builds the plugin for the target platform and records its digest-qualified image. The test matches the image by repository name.
List and check image build targets
Makefile, hack/build-matrix_test.bats, docs/agents/image-refs.md
The root build target adds image packages. A test checks that packages with Buildx image builds appear in the root target.

Keycloak image mirroring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keep the Keycloak host in repository
packages/system/keycloak-operator/Makefile, packages/system/keycloak-operator/values.yaml, docs/agents/image-refs.md, hack/lib/image-refs.sh
The image recipe writes the repository value, and the values file stores the complete registry host in repository with an empty registry. Documentation and comments reflect that layout.
Verify nightly mirror rewriting
hack/nightly-mirror.sh, hack/nightly-mirror_test.bats, hack/promote-retag_test.bats, hack/promote-rewrite-tags_test.bats
Mirror tests cover host rewriting for an empty registry and the Keycloak image recipe. Related comments describe the split-host limitation and test coverage.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cb035

The rebuilt plugin may prevent Velero from starting. Make its plugin volume writable before merging; also restore host-only Talos asset selection for LOAD=1.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cb035

The new multi-architecture release path can leave an incomplete installer image published if its second build fails. The rebuilt backup plugin may also be unable to start with the configured volume permissions, potentially preventing Velero from starting. Neither issue requires an attacker, but both affect important operational guarantees.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The newly built KubeVirt plugin runs its copy entrypoint as nobody:nogroup, while its destination is the Velero deployment's emptyDir with no configured fsGroup or init-container permission override. Under default volume ownership, initialization can fail and prevent the backup server pod from starting.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The release publishes an amd64-only Talos installer tag before replacing it with the multi-architecture index. Failure or interruption between those steps leaves the tag published without the newly expected arm64 image; the local index check does not roll back that registry state.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The effective scope extends to consumers of published Talos release tags and arm64 network-boot assets, and to clusters deploying the rebuilt Velero plugin. The supplied evidence does not establish tenant-specific exposure or a new privilege grant.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Build inputs cross an upstream-source-to-published-image boundary. Harbor checks a fixed source commit, Talos checks selected extension architectures, and both Harbor and Velero record built image digests in deployment values; those checks do not establish the provenance of every upstream input or validate runtime volume ownership.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A failed plugin init container would block Velero server startup and thus its backup and recovery function. A failed second Talos publication would leave consumers a valid but architecture-incomplete registry tag, even though the release workflow stops before subsequent asset-upload steps.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make the plugin destination writable to its non-root init container without broadening the whole pod's privileges, and verify that permission contract in the rendered deployment.
  • proposed — Complete and validate both installer architectures before making a release tag visible, or provide explicit detection and recovery for a partially published tag.
  • proposed — Pin or verify the Velero plugin's downloaded upstream source, in addition to recording the digest of the image produced from it.

Keep Talos asset selection host-only when LOAD=1.

When LOAD=1 leaves PLATFORM empty, TALOS_ARCHES falls back to DEFAULT_PLATFORMS. The installer and release-asset targets can then generate both architectures instead of the host architecture. Select the normalized host architecture for this fallback. Keep BOOT_ARCHES unchanged so Matchbox continues to include both boot architectures.

Run the KubeVirt init container as root or configure a writable plugin volume.

The Velero deployment uses the default emptyDir for plugins and has an empty pod security context. The image runs as nobody:nogroup, so its copy command cannot write to /target. The init container can fail and keep the Velero pod from starting.

Update the Dockerfile’s USER directive so the init container runs with
permission to write to the mounted /target plugin volume; keep the existing
ENTRYPOINT copy command unchanged.

Verdict: LGTM

Reviewed the consolidated arm64 build work end to end against the head commit, and it holds together. The defensive guards are the strongest part: the Harbor Dockerfile verifies every pinned component version against upstream's own Makefile before it builds, update asserts the chart appVersion matches HARBOR_VERSION, installer-index.sh refuses to assemble an index if a per-arch manifest is missing, the Velero stamp re-greps its own result so a missed sed fails the build, and the new build-list test genuinely fails when an image package is left out (I ran its query against head: 39 checked, none missing). I re-ran the affected bats suites, rendered the charts, rebuilt the profiles with gen-profiles.sh against the live registry (byte-for-byte identical to the committed ones), and exercised installer-index.sh against real skopeo output. CI is green on the head.

On the two open CodeRabbit comments:

The MAJOR one, that the KubeVirt init container runs as nobody:nogroup and cannot write into the /target emptyDir, does not reproduce. The KubeVirt plugin init container and its /target mount already exist on the base branch, and the upstream image it replaces already runs as nobody:nogroup (skopeo inspect --config quay.io/kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-plugin:v0.9.0). A default emptyDir is world-writable and podSecurityContext is empty, so the copy has been working in this exact shape in production. The rebuilt image keeps the same user, so there is no change in posture and nothing to fix here.

The Minor one about LOAD=1 is real but harmless: with LOAD=1 and no PLATFORM, TALOS_ARCHES falls back to both arches, so a local asset build does more work than the host needs. The output is still valid and the imager needs no QEMU for either arch, so this is at most a small efficiency note.

One thing worth keeping on the radar rather than blocking on: the arm64 halves of the container images (Harbor, Velero plugin, keycloak-operator, kilo, flux-plunger, migration-controller) are never actually built in CI. Every image job pins PLATFORM=linux/amd64, so those arm64 builds are covered only by the static bats checks until #4505 turns the leg on. The Talos side is better off, because the arm64 imager already runs in PR CI for the matchbox kernel and initramfs, so that mechanism at least is exercised.

The inline notes below are all minor or nit and none of them need to hold up the merge.

[MINOR] loosened image assertion no longer catches a version drift

Loosening this to matchRegex: /kubevirt-velero-plugin: makes sense for the release build, which stamps its own rebuilt reference over the upstream one, so pinning the exact string would break. The gap it opens is version drift: the plugin version now lives in two places nothing ties together, ARG VERSION=v0.9.0 in the Dockerfile and the image: line in values.yaml. If someone bumps one and not the other, this test stays green. Consider asserting the tag, or adding a check that the two pins agree.

# sed rather than yq -i: yq re-indents the initContainers list and drops
# blank lines elsewhere in the file, so every stamp would reformat it.

[MINOR] raw sed -i is not portable to BSD/macOS

sed -i "..." takes the next argument as a backup suffix on BSD sed, so a direct make -C packages/system/velero image on macOS fails. CI is fine because build-deps enforces GNU sed, and the failure is loud rather than silent, so this is only a local-dev nit. The repo already has a portable pattern for this elsewhere (route through a temp file, as nightly-mirror.sh notes) if you want to match it.

[MINOR] the build-list test is narrower than its name

The test derives image-building packages from grep -q 'docker buildx build', so a target written as docker build, $(DOCKER) buildx, or one that builds through an included .mk or a script would not be seen, and such a package could still be dropped from the root build list without this test noticing. It passes today and is a real improvement over nothing; just worth knowing its scope is buildx-literal targets, not every image target.

[MINOR] plugin source fetched by tag with no commit or checksum pin

The Harbor Dockerfile pins the upstream commit and the trivy checksums, which makes its source fetch reproducible. This one fetches the release tarball by tag only, so a re-tag upstream would change what gets built without any signal here. Low risk for a frozen v0.9.0 tag, but pinning the commit (as Harbor does) would make it consistent.

…leases on it (#4505)

## What this PR does

Pre-release builds now publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 index,
and a release fails if anything it ships is single-arch. Main, release
lines and pull requests keep building amd64 only. It builds on #4498,
which made every image buildable for both architectures. Part of #1961.

**This PR is on hold until everything under "Merge after" has landed.**
Merged earlier, the new gate fails the next rc on the images those PRs
fix.

### How a pre-release is built

A pre-release tag gets a second job, for arm64, next to the existing
release job. That covers `-rc.N`, `-beta.N` and `-alpha.N` tags. It runs
on the CNCF arm64 pool (`oracle-vm-24cpu-96gb-arm64`), builds the same
images with `PLATFORM=linux/arm64`, and pushes them as `<tag>-arm64`.
`prepare-release` waits for it, and if the arm64 job fails the rc fails
with it. There is no amd64-only fallback. Stable tags do not run it:
promotion copies the rc digests with `skopeo copy --multi-arch all`, so
a stable release inherits the indexes.

After the amd64 build, the stitch joins each amd64 image with its arm64
twin into one index. It lives in `hack/stitch-multiarch.sh`. Every tag
of the amd64 image moves to the index, the component-versioned ones
included. The script then rewrites the digests in the tree and
republishes the packages artifact and the installer chart pinned on
them. It reads refs through `hack/lib/image-refs.sh`, and it fails if an
old digest survives anywhere outside `charts/`.

### The gate

A new check fails the rc when a pinned digest in the tree is not an
index with both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. It lives in
`hack/verify-multiarch.sh`. It checks first-party and third-party refs
alike. Images that are amd64 by nature go into
`hack/multiarch-allowlist`, one repository per line, each with a
mandatory reason. Today that is only the e2e sandbox. An entry that
matches nothing is reported as stale.

The static gate only sees digest-pinned refs in the tree. A tag-only
ref, an image from a vendored chart default, or one an operator starts
at runtime is invisible to it. So the rc e2e also audits every image its
nodes pulled, with the same check and the same allowlist. Neither covers
a package the e2e never installs.

### Nightly

A new nightly workflow builds main for arm64. It keeps the arm64 build
cache warm, since the rc job only reads it. It also prints the
single-arch refs that would block the next rc. Nothing it builds is
published.

### Smaller changes

- `CACHE_TAG` in `hack/common-envs.mk` moves the default cache ref, so
the arm64 build keeps a cache of its own.
- `MATRIX_ARCH=arm64` makes `hack/build-matrix.sh` leave out the
amd64-only e2e sandbox.
- The kamaji provider image is pushed under the build's `IMAGE_TAG` like
every other image. Its Makefile set `IMAGE_TAG` itself, so concurrent
builds overwrote each other's component tag. Closes #4503.
- `hack/nightly-mirror.sh` verifies a copy against the raw manifest
digest. Plain `skopeo inspect` resolves an index to one platform's
child.
- matchbox is rebuilt for both platforms in the amd64 release job. The
arm64 leg skips the talos package, so there is no arm64 half to stitch,
and its Dockerfile only copies files, so no QEMU is needed. Releases
then network-boot arm64 machines too. Closes #4524.

The stitch also rewrites the kamaji ref inside `files/components.gz`,
recompressed with `gzip -n` so the bytes are reproducible, so the kamaji
control-plane provider ships multi-arch too. keda and kuberture now name
the repository next to their pinned digest, so the gate can resolve
them; their rendered manifests do not change.

### Merge after

- #4552 builds the Talos installer, matchbox, Harbor and the Velero
KubeVirt plugin for arm64, and adds flux-plunger, keycloak-operator,
kilo and migration-controller to the root `build:` list. It replaces
#4507, #4515, #4525 and #4528.
- #4549 moves ingress-nginx, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler and
keycloak-kms-proxy to their multi-arch releases, which are already
published.

The rest of the stack is merged: #4485, #4498, #4512, #4517, #4521 and
#4522 here, and the multi-arch PRs in
ingress-nginx-with-protobuf-exporter, cozy-proxy, cozystack-scheduler
and keycloak-kms-proxy.

### Verification

The bats suites pass: stitch, verify-multiarch, build-matrix,
common-envs, nightly-mirror and the release contracts. The first three
also pass under `hack/cozytest.sh` with dash. Each new test was red
before its implementation, and the verify-multiarch and stitch tests
each have a mutation that turns them red. I ran `verify-multiarch
--report` against main. It lists the first-party refs the stitch will
fix, plus the third-party and special cases above. The workflows have
not run yet. The arm64 job's tools and duration, the stitch against real
registries, and the audit are checked for the first time on the nightly
and on the next rc.

Nothing under `hack/` is moved or renamed, and no make target changes
its default behaviour: `CACHE_TAG` and `MATRIX_ARCH` are opt-in. The
satellite repositories listed under "Merge after" are prerequisites, not
follow-ups this change forces on them.

### Release note

```release-note
ci(release): pre-release builds publish every image as an amd64 and arm64 multi-arch index, and a release fails if any image it ships or pulls in e2e lacks either architecture. Stable releases inherit the indexes through promotion.
```
