Server does not create another Thread network. The WebSocket/dashboard port
is LAN-only and has no public ingress.
The MikroTik-managed `app-otbr` container requires these startup sysctls in
its own network namespace: `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1`,
`net.ipv6.conf.veth-app-otbr.accept_ra=2`, and
`net.ipv6.conf.veth-app-otbr.accept_ra_from_local=1`. Its container entrypoint
applies them before `/init`. Without accepting its own router advertisements,
the container advertises a LAN prefix but lacks the corresponding return
route; discovery works while IPv6 communication with Thread fails. Recheck
this entrypoint after changing or reinstalling the MikroTik App. RouterOS
does not expose `accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen` in this container kernel.
The Kubernetes node uses systemd-networkd's router advertisement handling;
its kernel `accept_ra=0` does not mean IPv6 route learning is disabled.
The chart creates `data-matter-server-0`, mounted at `/data`, on the retained
`rook-cephfs-ec` storage class. This contains authoritative Matter fabric keys
and device pairing state. Preserve the entire directory and its permissions
