See the docs - specifically https://docs.rke2.io/install/airgap#rke2-installsh-script-install where it says install.sh may be used in an offline mode by setting the INSTALL_RKE2_ARTIFACT_PATH variable to a path containing pre-downloaded artifacts - it does not appear that you've set that variable.

thanks, it works. i thought that i only need put all zst|gz file into /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/images/
install script will detect and run in offline mode :D
