Kickstart falis with Error setting-up Software source

Support

I am trying to kickstart boot an Alma 8.9 VM running on ProxMox 8.1.4 and am stuck trying to read the software depot.
If I run the install without a kickstart it works and I can manually complete it, however the kickstart fails detecting the install source:

My tftp boot /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-02-00… file says:

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 1
timeout 60

display boot.msg

label linux
  menu label ^Install AlmaLinux 8.9 (Kickstart)
  menu default
  kernel almalinux-8.9/vmlinuz
  append initrd=almalinux-8.9/initrd.img ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://10.19.231.17/almalinux-8.9/ inst.ks=http://10.19.231.17/ks/server.ks quiet

The kickstart file contains:

repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=file:///run/install/repo/AppStream
repo --name=openscap-latest --baseurl="https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/openscapmaint/openscap-latest/epel-8-x86_64/"
url --url=http://10.19.231.17/almalinux-8.9

If I open the site in a browser I see:

Any ideas?

I managed to fix the problem by unacking AlmaLinux-8-latest-x86_64-boot.iso into my web directory.
