talosctl apply-config [flags]

Options

      --cert-fingerprint strings   list of server certificate fingeprints to accept (defaults to no check)
  -f, --file string                the filename of the updated configuration

talosctl bootstrap

Bootstrap the etcd cluster on the specified node.

Synopsis

When Talos cluster is created etcd service on control plane nodes enter the join loop waiting to join etcd peers from other control plane nodes. One node should be picked as the boostrap node. When boostrap command is issued, the node aborts join process and bootstraps etcd cluster as a single node cluster. Other control plane nodes will join etcd cluster once Kubernetes is boostrapped on the bootstrap node.

This command should not be used when “init” type node are used.

Talos etcd cluster can be recovered from a known snapshot with ‘–recover-from=’ flag.

talosctl completion

Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash or zsh)

Synopsis

Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash or zsh). The shell code must be evaluated to provide interactive completion of talosctl commands. This can be done by sourcing it from the .bash_profile.

Note for zsh users: [1] zsh completions are only supported in versions of zsh >= 5.2

3 - Configuration

Package v1alpha1 configuration file contains all the options available for configuring a machine.

To generate a set of basic configuration files, run:

talosctl gen config --version v1alpha1 <cluster name> <cluster endpoint>

This will generate a machine config for each node type, and a talosconfig for the CLI.

Config

Config defines the v1alpha1 configuration file.

version: v1alpha1
persist: true
machine: # ...
cluster: # ...

MachineConfig

MachineConfig represents the machine-specific config values.

Appears in:

• Config.machine

type: controlplane
# InstallConfig represents the installation options for preparing a node.
install:
    disk: /dev/sda # The disk used for installations.
    # Allows for supplying extra kernel args via the bootloader.
    extraKernelArgs:
        - console=ttyS1
        - panic=10
    image: ghcr.io/talos-systems/installer:latest # Allows for supplying the image used to perform the installation.
    bootloader: true # Indicates if a bootloader should be installed.
    wipe: false # Indicates if the installation disk should be wiped at installation time.
