Elemental/transactional server

oh cool. I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. Looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Back to the original question: I've been using OpenSUSE Leap (15.4) cloud image with a bare minimum cloud config (enough patch to the latest, create some generic pre-req files needed for various CNIs and RKE2/K3s dependencies, and install a few troubleshooting packages). The only thing that I have not got to work well is deploying

nfs-subdir-external-provisioner

into a Leap-backed RKE2/K3s cluster with the NFS client on the Leap OS. NFS shares mount and work well when manually configured on the CLI, but the K8s cluster gets a "permission denied" when it tries to create directories on the OS. An Ubuntu cloud image works without issue. Admittedly, I have not had a lot of time to troubleshoot this one.
