Air gapped install not working for v1.30.5+rke2r1

[hotsource59]

I tried an air gapped install with the latest code. I downloaded the image tarball and the binary tarball for v1.30.5+rke2r1 and placed them in the tarball_install directory.

ll tarball_install
rke2-images.linux0amd64.tar.zst
rke2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

I started the playbook via ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory/cluster/hosts.yml

It then fails at this position:

TASK [rke2_common : Check for images tar.zst in ...]

My hosts.yml

---
all:
  vars:
    ansible_user: root
rke2_cluster:
  children:
    rke2_servers:

        server2
        server3

        server5

When I set the install_rke2_version: v1.30.5+rke2r1 in all:vars the playbook continues but fails at

Why does it still try to download something if everything is provided in the tarball_install directory?

When working in an airgapped environment, you have to set the install_rke2_version variable in order to prevent the playbook from trying to reach out to the internet and determine the latest version available.

When v2.0.0 gets released, there will be multiple different ways to tell the playbook to grab the tarball; either locally from the ansible control host or via a remote URL that's hosting the tarball
