Quickstart 20 A short guide on setting up a simple Talos Linux cluster locally with Docker.

{{< youtube IO2Yo3N46nk >}}

Local Docker Cluster

The easiest way to try Talos is by using the CLI (talosctl) to create a cluster on a machine with docker installed.

Prerequisites

talosctl

Download talosctl (macOS or Linux):

brew install siderolabs/tap/talosctl

kubectl

Download kubectl via one of methods outlined in the documentation.

Create the Cluster

Now run the following:

talosctl cluster create

{{% alert title="Note" color="info" %}} If you are using Docker Desktop on a macOS computer you will need to enable the default Docker socket in your settings. {{% /alert %}}

You can explore using Talos API commands:

talosctl dashboard --nodes 10.5.0.2

Verify that you can reach Kubernetes:

kubectl get nodes -o wide
NAME                           STATUS   ROLES    AGE    VERSION          INTERNAL-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   OS-IMAGE                 KERNEL-VERSION   CONTAINER-RUNTIME
talos-default-controlplane-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:

talosctl cluster destroy
