I am running a Kubernetes ARM cluster but the job spawned starts pulling down a drone/controller image and is attempting to use the `linux-amd64` tag.

```auto
Type Reason Age From Message
  ---- ------ ---- ---- -------
  Normal Scheduled 16s default-scheduler Successfully assigned builds/drone-job-68rvz-425vq to kube2
  Normal Pulling 13s kubelet, kube2 pulling image "drone/controller:linux-amd64"
  Normal Pulled 12s kubelet, kube2 Successfully pulled image "drone/controller:linux-amd64"
  Normal Created 11s kubelet, kube2 Created container
  Normal Started 10s kubelet, kube2 Started container

```

```auto
kubectl logs drone-job-68rvz-425vq
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "exec format error"

```

The drone server deployment is using `drone/drone:1.0.0-rc.3` in the arm cluster.

```auto
❯ kubectl exec drone-deploy-bbd8848b5-w9rqn -- cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 'model name'
model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)

```

I see `drone/controller:1.0.0-rc.3-linux-arm` exists, but how do I tell my Drone server deployment to spawn jobs from it? I don’t see any new environment variables for this.
