Docs refer to removed systemd-units/kubernetes flags

Thanks for clarifying! Note the code in the docs which generates e.g https://www.parca.dev/docs/systemd#setting-up-parca-agent is picking up v0.10.0-rc.1 already, so it's a little confusing :)

I hadn't realized, this was picking pre-releases. We need to update the docs anyway. Feel free to update the existing flags. At the very least, we will be consistent.

Running as described at https://github.com/parca-dev/parca-agent/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#run-parca-agent also doesn't seem to work, seems it's creating a kubernetes client - is local non-kube usage still supported?

Looks like this is part of #169 but I'm still not clear if local non-kube usage is expected to work now, any clarification or pointers welcome, thanks! :)

[metalmatze]

Good catch. Indeed, we're still working on making v0.10.0 the latest release. By the time this version gets released the docs should be updated. Right now the docs are still for v0.9.x.

If there are any pointers in the meantime about how to use the 0.10/system-wide profiling on baremetal that would be welcome!
