What does this PR change?

This pull request updates the GitHub Actions workflows for building and pushing container images, adding support for multi-architecture builds (amd64 and arm64). It also makes minor improvements to Dockerfiles, including package additions and cleanups.

Multi-architecture build improvements:

• Added the PLATFORMS environment variable (linux/amd64,linux/arm64) to .github/workflows/build_containers.yml and .github/workflows/build_controller_test_container.yml, enabling all container images to be built for both amd64 and arm64 architectures.
• Integrated QEMU and Docker Buildx setup steps into all relevant jobs in both workflows, ensuring multi-arch builds are supported in CI.
• Updated all Docker build-and-push steps to use the platforms argument referencing the new PLATFORMS variable, ensuring images are published for both architectures.

Workflow and Dockerfile cleanup:

• Removed unused or redundant jobs and Dockerfiles related to container-registry and container-registry-auth, and repurposed jobs to streamline the workflow.
• In testsuite/dockerfiles/buildhost/Dockerfile, added the iputils package to the install list.
• In testsuite/dockerfiles/controller-dev/Dockerfile, added libgbm-devel and vi, and consolidated the installation of libssh4 and libssh-devel.

[github-actions]

👋 Hello! Thanks for contributing to our project.
Acceptance tests will take some time (aprox. 1h), please be patient ☕

You can see the progress at the end of this page and at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/11102/checks
Once tests finish, if they fail, you can check 👀 the cucumber report. See the link at the output of the action.
You can also check the artifacts section, which contains the logs at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/pull/11102/checks.

If you are unsure the failing tests are related to your code, you can check the "reference jobs". These are jobs that run on a scheduled time with code from master. If they fail for the same reason as your build, it means the tests or the infrastructure are broken. If they do not fail, but yours do, it means it is related to your code.

Reference tests:

• https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/actions/workflows/acceptance_tests_secondary_parallel.yml?query=event%3Aschedule

• https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/actions/workflows/acceptance_tests_secondary.yml?query=event%3Aschedule

KNOWN ISSUES

Sometimes the build can fail when pulling new jar files from download.opensuse.org . This is a known limitation. Given this happens rarely, when it does, all you need to do is rerun the test. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Happy hacking!
⚠️ You should not merge if acceptance tests fail to pass. ⚠️

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds macOS (Darwin) support to the Podman test runner infrastructure, enabling developers to run the testsuite on macOS systems using Podman Desktop. The changes enable cross-platform compatibility by detecting the operating system and adjusting commands accordingly.

Key changes:

• Added Darwin OS detection and conditional command execution throughout all podman_runner scripts
• Renamed 00_setup_env.sh to 00_clean_env.sh with macOS-specific cleanup logic
• Replaced custom container registry images with standard docker.io/library/registry:2 images
• Added multi-architecture (amd64/arm64) build support for GitHub Actions workflows
• Improved error messages and added server readiness checks

The standard registry:2 image does not support authentication via AUTH_REGISTRY_USER and AUTH_REGISTRY_PASSWD environment variables. The registry:2 image requires a separate htpasswd file and configuration. This container will not have authentication enabled as intended.
