The NS8 pre-built image fails irreversibly if the network is down or misconfigured. Traefik install fails and cluster-admin becomes unreachable. Even if Traefik install succeedes, a network issue may suddenly break the create-cluster action, with no recover path.
Proposed solution
- Install Traefik in the pre-built image, finish its configuration (i.e. secrets and certs generation) at first boot, when network may be down.
- Handle validation error of Create Cluster
Alternative solutions
Install core modules from a local Podman image cache. A local registry service should provide the required images with zero network connections.
Additional context
If "Create cluster" fails for a network/DNS failure, it cannot be executed again (VPN address already set).
