Talos Linux

Requires Talos CTL to access.

• talosctl gen secrets
• talosctl gen config
  • Cluster Name
  • K8S Endpoint: Point to DNS Name or IP Address of load balancer (or single node)
    • Talos allows for creating a Virtual IP to load balance nodes

Example:
export TALOS_ENDPOINT=<DROPLET_PUBLIC_IP>
export CLUSTER_NAME=mytaloscluster

talosctl gen config ${CLUSTER_NAME} https://${TALOS_ENDPOINT}:6443

Note: If not using a loadbalancer or dns name use a reserved ip. Create the nodes, passing the user_data .yaml configurations appropriate for each node

• talosctl --talosconfig ./talosconfig config endpoint ${TALOS_ENDPOINT}
• talosctl --talosconfig ./talosconfig config node ${TALOS_ENDPOINT}
• talosctl --talosconfig ./talosconfig bootstrap
• talosctl --talosconfig talosconfig kubeconfig .
• talosctl --talosconfig talosconfig health

Using kubectl with talos

• kubectl —kubeconfig kubeconfig get nodes
