What this PR does

The VPN app can't run on arm64 nodes. Upstream publishes quay.io/outline/shadowbox for amd64 only, so on arm64 the pod crash-loops with exec /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: exec format error. The last upstream release is v1.12.3 from February 2025. The ARM request there, OutlineFoundation/outline-server#1009, is still open.

Upstream's own build already knows how to target arm64, it just never publishes that build. It pins an arm64 node base, cross-compiles outline-ss-server and has prometheus checksums for both architectures. This PR rebuilds v1.12.3 from source as a multi-arch image, following the layout of upstream's docker:build task. The source is pinned to the release commit. The webpack bundle is built once on the build platform, the Go server and prometheus per target. The runtime base is the node 18.18.0 index whose amd64 and arm64 manifests are exactly the ones upstream pins, so amd64 keeps the same base layers.

The chart now reads the image the same way as the other first-party images, from a stamped .tag file. It is pinned by digest instead of the floating :stable tag. Until the first CI build stamps the file, it holds upstream v1.12.3 by digest, which is what :stable resolves to today. The package is in the root build: list, so every build path refreshes it.

I built both platforms and checked each one. The binaries are the right ELF architecture, the management API answers and access keys get created. On an arm64 test cluster the VPN app with this image went Ready. An HTTPS request through a real shadowsocks client on another node came back 200. The helm-unittest no longer asserts the image string, since that would only restate the pin.

This gives an arm64 variant only when the build gets a platform list. Current CI builds amd64 only, so until the multi-arch build lands (#4498) this is a same-behaviour rebuild. Also, cozystack/shadowbox is a new image. Its e2e registry repo may come up private on first push, which shows up as a 403 on pull, not as a code problem.

Screenshots

No UI changes.

Downstream repositories

The diff touches one app's chart and Makefile and the root build: list. No entry in the trigger map covers an app's image source.

Release note

feat(vpn): the VPN app now uses a shadowbox image that Cozystack builds from the upstream v1.12.3 source, pinned by digest, instead of the floating amd64-only `:stable` upstream tag. The image builds for amd64 and arm64; releases publish the arm64 variant once the multi-arch release build is in place.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The VPN package now builds a pinned Shadowbox image and records its reference and digest. The VPN Deployment uses the reference from the tag file instead of a fixed image value.

Changes

VPN Shadowbox image

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pinned Shadowbox image
packages/apps/vpn/images/shadowbox/Dockerfile, packages/apps/vpn/images/shadowbox.tag
The Dockerfile builds Shadowbox v1.12.3 from a pinned source commit, compiles its artifacts, verifies the Prometheus download checksum, and assembles the runtime image. The tag file records the image version and digest.
Image build target
Makefile, packages/apps/vpn/Makefile
The root build target invokes the VPN image target. The VPN Makefile uses buildx to build the image and write its reference, tag, and digest to the tag file.
Deployment image reference
packages/apps/vpn/templates/deployment.yaml, packages/apps/vpn/tests/vpn_test.yaml
The Deployment reads the image reference from the tag file. The test replaces the exact stable-image assertion with a check that the container image is nonempty.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05fb7

The publishing pipeline still produces an amd64-only image, so arm64 users will not get the support this change intends to provide. Direct chart use can also select the amd64-only fallback, and the updated test does not verify the pinned image. Resolve the platform selection before merging.

Assert the rendered Shadowbox image.

The test removed its only image assertion. A regression that ignores images/shadowbox.tag and renders an unrelated image would still pass the remaining assertions. Add an assertion for the fixture value.

Pin a multi-architecture Shadowbox digest before publishing arm64 support.

The checked-in digest resolves to a single linux/amd64 image. The Deployment reads this file directly, so an arm64 node can pull amd64 binaries and fail with exec format error when amd64 emulation is unavailable. Publish the rebuilt image for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, then replace this file with its multi-architecture digest.

Require both platforms for the Shadowbox image build.

This command relies on $(BUILDX_ARGS) for platform selection. The PR states that current CI builds amd64 only. In that configuration, the recorded digest identifies an amd64-only build despite the target-aware Dockerfile, so arm64 nodes cannot run the stamped image. Supply or enforce linux/amd64,linux/arm64 for the publishing build. (docs.docker.com)

Make the stamped VPN image pullable by e2e clusters.

When the e2e image repository is private, the e2e job pulls without an OCIR token. The VPN Deployment has no imagePullSecrets, and the cluster has no registry mirror. The VPN pod can therefore enter ImagePullBackOff.

Make the e2e repository publicly readable, or provision pull credentials to the target cluster before installing the package.

Upstream publishes quay.io/outline/shadowbox for amd64 only, so the
VPN app crash-loops with an exec format error on arm64 nodes. The
upstream build already targets arm64 (node base, outline-ss-server,
prometheus), it is just never published for it.

Rebuild the pinned release (v1.12.3) as a multi-arch image following
upstream's own Taskfile layout: the webpack bundle is built once on the
build platform, the Go server and prometheus per target. The runtime
base is the node:18.18.0-alpine3.18 index whose per-arch manifests are
exactly the ones upstream pins, so amd64 keeps the same base layers.

The chart reads the image from images/shadowbox.tag like the other
first-party images, pinned by digest instead of the floating :stable
tag. Until the first build stamps it, the file holds upstream v1.12.3
by digest, which is what :stable resolves to today.

Reviewed statically in a hermetic clone. Built the shadowbox image for both platforms and confirmed the extracted binaries are correct-arch static ELF; verified the digest pins against quay.io and the base images as multi-arch. LGTM. Minor note: the new unittest assertion is non-discriminating.

…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.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Release candidates now build amd64 and arm64 images in parallel and
combine eligible images into verified multi-architecture indexes before
publication.
* A nightly arm64 image build is available for testing and supplies a
build cache for release-candidate builds.
* **Bug Fixes**
* End-to-end checks audit whether pulled images support both
architectures. Audit failures block prerelease checks, while stable
releases continue with a warning.
* End-to-end test artifacts now include collected image references and
multi-architecture audit results.
* **Documentation**
* Updated release and image guidance covers multi-architecture builds,
verification checks, and troubleshooting, including arm64 build and
stitching failures.
