Images are required on every node as they are needed to deploy each kubernetes component on master and worker nodes.

I understand that the necessary kubernetes component images are required, but what if I had a custom container that I wanted to run on the cluster, would I need to put that image tar file in every nodes images folder if I wanted the image to be able to run on any of the nodes?

you should use a registry....

Is there a light footprint private registry I can deploy alongside rke2?

we use this on our project: https://github.com/defenseunicorns/zarf

Awesome — will take a look. Thanks!
