Join duplicate records
How to fix issue when Netmaker server create duplicates of nodes. Node side: error with registration.
[netclient] 2022-07-25 10:51:36 ALREADY_INSTALLED. Netclient appears to already be installed for main. To re-install, please remove by executing 'sudo netclient leave -n main'. Then re-run the install command.
This is the same node
Why duplicates happens?

if the node is deleted from the command line but could not reach the server during the deletion the node remains as a zombie on the server. When you rejoin the same network a new node is created and thus you have two nodes -- the working one and a zombie. The server checks for zombies and will delete the zombie nodes after a period of time.
