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 cgroups

Retrieve cgroups usage information

Synopsis

The cgroups command fetches control group v2 (cgroupv2) usage details from the machine. Several presets are available to focus on specific cgroup subsystems:

  • cpu
  • cpuset
  • io
  • memory
  • process
  • swap

You can specify the preset using the –preset flag.

Alternatively, a custom schema can be provided using the –schema-file flag. To see schema examples, refer to https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/tree/main/cmd/talosctl/cmd/talos/cgroupsprinter/schemas.

talosctl completion

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

Synopsis

Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash, fish 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

## or, if running Bash 4.1+
	brew install bash-completion@2
## If talosctl is installed via homebrew, this should start working immediately.
## If you've installed via other means, you may need add the completion to your completion directory

talosctl machineconfig gen

Generates a set of configuration files for Talos cluster

Synopsis

The cluster endpoint is the URL for the Kubernetes API. If you decide to use a control plane node, common in a single node control plane setup, use port 6443 as this is the port that the API server binds to on every control plane node. For an HA setup, usually involving a load balancer, use the IP and port of the load balancer.

talosctl pcap

Capture the network packets from the node.

Synopsis

The command launches packet capture on the node and streams back the packets as raw pcap file.

Default behavior is to decode the packets with internal decoder to stdout:

talosctl pcap -i eth0

Raw pcap file can be saved with --output flag:

talosctl pcap -i eth0 --output eth0.pcap

Output can be piped to tcpdump:

talosctl pcap -i eth0 -o - | tcpdump -vvv -r -

BPF filter can be applied, but it has to compiled to BPF instructions first using tcpdump. Correct link type should be specified for the tcpdump: EN10MB for Ethernet links and RAW for e.g. Wireguard tunnels:

talosctl pcap -i eth0 --bpf-filter "$(tcpdump -dd -y EN10MB 'tcp and dst port 80')"

talosctl pcap -i kubespan --bpf-filter "$(tcpdump -dd -y RAW 'port 50000')"

As packet capture is transmitted over the network, it is recommended to filter out the Talos API traffic, e.g. by excluding packets with the port 50000.

talosctl pcap [flags]

Options

      --bpf-filter string   bpf filter to apply, tcpdump -dd format

Synopsis

The command can rotate both Talos and Kubernetes root CAs (for the API). By default both CAs are rotated, but you can choose to rotate just one or another. The command starts by generating new CAs, and gracefully applying it to the cluster.

For Kubernetes, the command only rotates the API server issuing CA, and other Kubernetes PKI can be rotated by applying machine config changes to the controlplane nodes.
