I think we created a monster when it comes to configuration requirements with the Oak server bundle.
Have a look at [1] where I had to add dozens of configurations just to get a JCR repository running. And this requires not only OSGi configurations but also framework properties. Let's start with that one: It seems the tar implementation is fine without a system property and creates a directory in the current dir. However, the indexing fails and requires "repository.home" to be set. I think this should default to something valuable as well. There is no point in failing. Then we have all these OSGi configurations - I really think we should not need them and simply deploying the right bundles should be enough. It's a nightmare right now.
