    Common Stalls and Where to Look

    Collect the signal in the second column before changing the environment or opening a support ticket.

    SymptomFirst place to lookWhat you are looking for

    Image Pull and Artifact Failures

    SymptomChecksRecovery
    Pod is ImagePullBackOff or ErrImagePullRun kubectl describe pod <pod> -n <namespace> and test the configured registry from the failing node.Correct the reported DNS, route, firewall, CA trust, pull credential, registry availability, or missing-manifest problem.
    A required Core or Aligned application is unavailable after installationInspect the corresponding AppRelease, ModuleInfo, ModulePlugin, and Pod Events. If package availability is still unclear, inspect the matching entry in kubectl get productbase base -o yaml and the exact repository:tag in the registry.If the registry confirms that the required manifest is missing, upload the matching installation-version package. For authorization, CA, DNS, routing, or connectivity errors, correct the reported registry problem instead of republishing the package. Ignore unrelated Absent entries for optional or uninstalled catalog packages.
    A recovered or replacement node cannot pull an installed-version imageInspect the failing Pod and registry retention records.Restore the referenced digest, then correct registry availability, backup, or retention policy before retrying recovery.

    For upload-command failures that occur before the installer starts, use External Platform Image Registry Troubleshooting.

    Installer Cleanup

    The installer normally removes itself after installation. If the installer container remains 30 minutes after installation completes, run this command on the installation node:

    nerdctl rm -f minialauda-control-plane

    Collect Evidence Before Escalation

    Capture /var/cpaas/data/installer.log, the relevant kubectl describe output, failing resource conditions, and the exact Core Package version and architecture. Do not include registry passwords or Secret contents.
