The /etc/issue file is overwritten by a template, defined in nethserver-release package. This "kickstart" version set up it temporarily: it's visible while the system-init event is running.
While system-init is running the web UI could be still not ready.
Is there a way to reset VT1 so that it shows the newly expanded /etc/issue ?
As alternative approach, you could also try to write directly to the system console. Indeed , if this information is required only at the end of the install procedure, it could be sent to the console/VT1 just once.

I'd use the ip command: it's output is more parsable than ifconfig.

I have two alternatives for you, maybe they could be more optimized but they should work. What do you think?
ip addr | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(.\d+){3}' | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | sed 's/.*/https://&:980/'
hostname -I | sed -E -e 's/[[:blank:]]+/\n/g' | sed 's/.*/https://&:980/' | grep -v 'https://:980'

I prefer the ip addr one! With -o (oneline) option it's easier to parse:
ip -o -4 addr | tr -s ' /' $'\t' | cut -f 4 | grep -vF 127.0.0.1 | xargs -I IP -- echo https://IP:980

A fixed NethServer string could not suit rebranded products (i.e. NethServer Enterprise). I'd rather write
Access the web interface at the following URLs:

It was intended to work only on first boot so no need for templating or writing directly to console as far as I understand.
I'll change the text to be neutral as you suggested.

After first reboot after base install the login URLs should be shown. This may be helpful when using DHCP or VMs.
