description: "A short guide on setting up a simple Talos Linux cluster locally with Docker."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
There are two easy ways to try out Talos Linux.
|
|
Instructions for each are detailed below.
|
|
|
|
## Katacoda Sandbox
|
|
|
|
First, you can explore a sandbox environment hosted on Katacoda.
|
|
This approach has the benefit of having no prerequisites and being a bit more guided, so you can quickly learn how to interact with a cluster.
|
|
|
|
Please visit Katacoda [here](https://katacoda.com/siderolabs/scenarios/talos-intro) to try it out.
|
|
|
|
## Local Docker Cluster
|
|
|
|
Another easy way to try Talos is by using the CLI (`talosctl`) to create a cluster on a machine with `docker` installed.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
#### `talosctl`
|
|
|
|
Download `talosctl`:
|
|
|
|
##### `amd64`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/{{< release >}}/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-amd64
|
|
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### `arm64`
|
|
|
|
For `linux` and `darwin` operating systems `talosctl` is also available for the `arm64` processor architecture.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/{{< release >}}/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-arm64
|
|
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `kubectl`
|
|
|
|
Download `kubectl` via one of methods outlined in the [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/).
|
|
|
|
### Create the Cluster
|
|
|
|
Now run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
talosctl cluster create
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify that you can reach Kubernetes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ kubectl get nodes -o wide
|
|
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME
|
|
talos-default-master-1 Ready master 115s v{{< k8s_release >}} 10.5.0.2 <none> Talos ({{< release >}}) <host kernel> containerd://1.5.5
|
|
talos-default-worker-1 Ready <none> 115s v{{< k8s_release >}} 10.5.0.3 <none> Talos ({{< release >}}) <host kernel> containerd://1.5.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Destroy the Cluster
|
|
|
|
When you are all done, remove the cluster:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
talosctl cluster destroy
|
|
```
