Flannel Resources for PPC64le (Docs Needed)

------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to deploy the kubernetes-core bundle on a mix cluster with amd64 and ppc64le nodes. I was able to create ppc64le resources for kubernetes-worker, but do not understand where to find the source for all the flannel resource binaries.
Is there a separate repository that host the source and build instructions for flannel resources?

@kenhill Here's the script we use to build the flannel resource: https://github.com/juju-solutions/kubernetes-jenkins/blob/master/repackage-flannel.sh

In short, we are repackaging the following:
- flanneld: https://github.com/coreos/flannel/releases
- etcdctl: https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases
- flannel, bridge, host-local: https://github.com/containernetworking/cni/releases

@Cynerva Thank you for your prompt response. It would be helpful to add this information to the `Alternate deployment methods` section of the kubernetes-core README

Reopening so we have an indicator that this needs to be documented.

Deploying kubernetes on Power9 I have the same problem reported here.

Any idea if this will be fixed? or is there a workaround? The http links in this bug all seem to be broken. Could someone point me to any current documentation?

We don't officially support POWER, so this likely won't be fixed or documented until we do.

If you want to try building your own resources for flannel, see https://github.com/charmed-kubernetes/charm-flannel/blob/master/build-flannel-resources.sh.
