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: # ...

version string

Indicates the schema used to decode the contents.

Valid values:

v1alpha1

debug bool

Enable verbose logging to the console.

Valid values:

true
yes
false
no

persist bool

Indicates whether to pull the machine config upon every boot.

Valid values:

true
yes
false
no

machine MachineConfig

Provides machine specific configuration options.

cluster ClusterConfig

Provides cluster specific configuration options.

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.

type string

Defines the role of the machine within the cluster.

Init

Init node type designates the first control plane node to come up. You can think of it like a bootstrap node. This node will perform the initial steps to bootstrap the cluster – generation of TLS assets, starting of the control plane, etc.

Control Plane

Control Plane node type designates the node as a control plane member. This means it will host etcd along with the Kubernetes master components such as API Server, Controller Manager, Scheduler.

Worker

Worker node type designates the node as a worker node. This means it will be an available compute node for scheduling workloads.

Valid values:

init
controlplane
join

token string

The token is used by a machine to join the PKI of the cluster. Using this token, a machine will create a certificate signing request (CSR), and request a certificate that will be used as its’ identity.

Warning: It is important to ensure that this token is correct since a machine’s certificate has a short TTL by default.

Examples:

token: 328hom.uqjzh6jnn2eie9oi

ca PEMEncodedCertificateAndKey

The root certificate authority of the PKI. It is composed of a base64 encoded crt and key.

Examples:

ca:
    crt: TFMwdExTMUNSVWRKVGlCRFJWSlVTVVpKUTBGVVJTMHRMUzB0Q2sxSlNVSklla05DTUhGLi4u
    key: TFMwdExTMUNSVWRKVGlCRlJESTFOVEU1SUZCU1NWWkJWRVVnUzBWWkxTMHRMUzBLVFVNLi4u

certSANs []string

Extra certificate subject alternative names for the machine’s certificate. By default, all non-loopback interface IPs are automatically added to the certificate’s SANs.

Examples:

certSANs:
    - 10.0.0.10
    - 172.16.0.10
    - 192.168.0.10

    extraArgs:
        --feature-gates: ServerSideApply=true

    # # The `extraMounts` field is used to add additional mounts to the kubelet container.
    # extraMounts:
    #     - destination: /var/lib/example
    #       type: bind
    #       source: /var/lib/example
    #       options:

disks []MachineDisk

Used to partition, format and mount additional disks. Since the rootfs is read only with the exception of /var, mounts are only valid if they are under /var. Note that the partitioning and formating is done only once, if and only if no existing partitions are found. If size: is omitted, the partition is sized to occupy the full disk.

Note: size is in units of bytes.

Examples:

disks:
    - device: /dev/sdb # The name of the disk to use.
      # A list of partitions to create on the disk.
      partitions:
        - mountpoint: /var/mnt/extra # Where to mount the partition.

          # # The size of partition: either bytes or human readable representation. Setting this to <code>0</code> will cause the parititon to take up the rest of the disk.

          # # Human readable representation.
          # size: 100 MB
          # # Precise value in bytes.
          # size: 1073741824

        - 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.

files []MachineFile

Allows the addition of user specified files. The value of op can be create, overwrite, or append. In the case of create, path must not exist. In the case of overwrite, and append, path must be a valid file. If an op value of append is used, the existing file will be appended. Note that the file contents are not required to be base64 encoded.

Note: The specified path is relative to /var.

Examples:

files:
    - content: '...' # The contents of the file.
      permissions: 0o666 # The file's permissions in octal.
      path: /tmp/file.txt # The path of the file.
      op: append # The operation to use

registries RegistriesConfig

Used to configure the machine’s container image registry mirrors.

Automatically generates matching CRI configuration for registry mirrors.

The mirrors section allows to redirect requests for images to non-default registry, which might be local registry or caching mirror.

The config section provides a way to authenticate to the registry with TLS client identity, provide registry CA, or authentication information. Authentication information has same meaning with the corresponding field in .docker/config.json.

See also matching configuration for CRI containerd plugin.

Examples:

registries:
    # Specifies mirror configuration for each registry.
    mirrors:
        docker.io:
            # List of endpoints (URLs) for registry mirrors to use.
            endpoints:
                - https://registry.local
    # Specifies TLS & auth configuration for HTTPS image registries.
    config:
        registry.local:
            # The TLS configuration for the registry.
            tls:
                # Enable mutual TLS authentication with the registry.
