🐛 Summary

Deploying a Thorium cluster without the registry_auth config option results in a partial deployment state.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Deploy all of the prerequisite infrastructure (steps 5.2.1-5.2.7)
2. Apply a minimal ThoriumCluster spec using the public ghcr.io images without a registry_auth section
3. Observe that the scaler pod fails to create due to docker-skopeo secret not existing

Adding a valid registry_auth entry like the following resolves the issue:

...
spec:
  registry_auth:
    ghcr.io: <secret>
...

Expected behavior

All images pull successfully without providing a registry_auth due to using public images provided by Thorium Github.
All pods start without requiring the optional registry_auth section.
