Documented steps

  1. Build for a single platform: podman build --platform linux/amd64 -t myapp . ; passing multiple --platform values requires --manifest instead of -t.
  2. Create a multi-arch manifest list: podman build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --manifest myapp .
  3. Build for every platform of the base image with podman build --all-platforms --manifest myapp . (requires at least one non-scratch stage).
  4. Push the entire manifest list: podman manifest push myapp quay.io/user/myapp:latest (podman push also works).
  5. Cross-arch RUN instructions execute under emulation, so install a QEMU emulator (e.g. qemu-user-static) on the host.
