Adds a fast, reproducible install path that unpacks a prebuilt AlmaLinux 9 node
rootfs onto the disk instead of resolving packages, with per-host networking
still templated after the unpack. Storage reuses the OptiPlex model vars so
image and package installs lay disks out identically.
- kickstart/image.ks.tmpl: liveimg --url={{ .DistroVars.rootfs_tarball }};
%post renders per-host NetworkManager keyfiles from NetBox interface data
(the image is generic and liveimg clobbers /etc), sets hostname, the
puppet-initial PUPPETCA_URL env, and the provisioned callback.
- kickstart/_storage.ks.tmpl: shared storage-block/storage-pre partials
(storage_mode / vg_grow); almalinux9.ks.tmpl now uses them too (no behaviour
change) so both installs share one storage layout.
- catalog/almalinux9-image.yaml (generic autopart) + optiplex-7080-image.yaml
(auto-nvme + vg_grow) point liveimg at the artifactapi rootfs-images repo.
- .woodpecker/build-image.yaml: builds the rootfs via dnf --installroot,
tars almalinux9-node-<ver>.tar.zst, uploads to the rootfs-images local repo
on tag node-image-<ver>.
Validated with bootapi validate + shellcheck; no bootapi code change (DistroVars
+ existing interface data suffice).
