Installing Talos Linux and bootstrapping Kubernetes is time consuming if you're new to declarative infrastructure. My hope is that this video is easy to understand and helps you avoid the common mistakes with an API driven operating system. Quick Reference: Generate Talos image at https://factory.talos.dev Install talosctl: brew install siderolabs/tap/talosctl (if you don't have brew there are other providers for talosctl) Create bootable USB + boot from the Talos ISO Generate your Talos config: talosctl gen config CLUSTER_NAME https://YOUR_NODE_IP:6443 Get the installation disk name or id: talosctl -n YOUR_NODE_IP get disks --insecure -o yaml Update your controlplane.yaml machine configuration file with the proper disk name. Allow scheduling on control planes for single node clusters. Apply your config: talosctl apply-config -n YOUR_NODE_IP --insecure --file /path/to/controlplane.yaml Bootstrap Kubernetes: talosctl bootstrap --nodes YOUR_NODE_IP --endpoints YOUR_NODE_IP --talosconfig=/path/to/talosconfig Configure endpoint for talosctl commands: talosctl config endpoint 10.13.17.32 Export talosconfig to a variable for talosctl: export TALOSCONFIG=/path/to/talosconfig Merge kubeconfig with talosconfig: talosctl kubeconfig -n 10.13.17.32 Check the health of your node: talosctl -n 10.13.17.32 --health ???????
