6.8 support hadn't landed in 0.30 yet, for the meantime you'll need to use a main image, but we're also about to release v0.31 (https://github.com/parca-dev/parca-agent/pull/2667)

[gerhard]

That makes sense! Is there an existing Linux x86_64 binary or should I extract it from the container image?

[brancz]

Ah I see, yeah we only build the containers on every merge. So either extract the binary, or use the docker setup on the quickstart.

[gerhard]

OK, will extract the binary & try again.
