Fix Docker multi-arch build by using buildx directly#1935
Conversation
Replace separate docker build commands with docker buildx build that properly handles multi-platform builds. This fixes the "is a manifest list" error that occurred when trying to create manifests from images built with docker build --platform. The new approach uses docker buildx build with --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 to build both architectures in one command and pushes them directly with the --push flag.

Docker push was failing with
"defangio/defang-cli:amd64-v3.2.0 is a manifest list"when attemptingdocker manifest create. When buildx is enabled,docker build --platformcreates manifest lists, not single-platform images.Changes
Replaced the multi-step build process with a single buildx command:
Before:
After:
The buildx command handles multi-arch manifest creation automatically when pushing.
