weave-daemonset-k8s.yaml uses image :latest, which isn't multiarch about weave

[jungin500]

I also faced same issue, and luckily found reasons and workaround (using 2.8.1 version).

I've found out that this is a weaveworks/weave-kube:latest image issue, specifically on the image shown as arm64 architecture in docker hub. Image uploaded to docker hub indicates that the image is arm64 architecture. But, actually binary inside that image is amd64.

Workaround

As a simple fix, changing image tag inside weave-daemonset-k8s.yaml from latest to 2.8.1 works.

You can download changed YAML file here: https://gist.github.com/jungin500/6ca26cc6f8e9b4c16988b50fe43a67f4

Causes

Both images (weaveworks/weave-kube:latest, weaveworks/weave-npc:latest) with architecture arm64 are uploaded on docker hub:

• weaveworks/weave-kube:latest
• weaveworks/weave-npc:latest

It is likely indicating the arm64 architecture, but actually is not:

$ docker inspect weaveworks/weave-npc@sha256:8cbee41d20340db9d861d94fd1396aca5b0bef569d89360862189414672d013b -f '{{ .Architecture }}'
amd64

$ docker inspect weaveworks/weave-kube@sha256:6b7b1c5bbb0589e6b294324aa3d7ee9316d49203c7c418bf087cbd7982ad62fa -f '{{ .Architecture }}'
amd64

I assume that root cause is misconfigured CI pipeline?
