bundle for k3s airgap images

[poblin-orange]

Hello,
to help with disconnected environment, k3s provides a package of core images

• https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/download/v1.26.3%2Bk3s1/k3s-airgap-images-amd64.tar

This must be set in /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/images/, that way k3s core feature (klipper traeffik, coredns) can start without docker registry connectivity

These looks like a simple bundle, could be part of core Kairos bundles ?

Hi @poblin-orange !

There is already docs on how to do this: https://kairos.io/docs/examples/airgap/ and get an iso with the bundled images inside it, ready for airgapped environments.

Would that work for you?

Hi @Itxaka
Thks for the link, i will try it.
My point was also to include k3s airgap packages as part of core kairos (kairos offers packaged OS+k3s runtime image, these airgap k3s image are versionned according to k3s runtime)

Hi @poblin-orange 👋

Thanks! I think this is good food for thought, could you please file an issue so we can track it in our sprints? I think that could increase image size, however, I see we could add probably some automation and create airgapped bundles so to be consumed easily without having to build them manually in our community-bundle repository

Thks @mudler . I tried to express the point in #1289
