Scaleway

Creating a cluster via the CLI (scw) on scaleway.com.

Talos is known to work on scaleway.com; however, it is currently mostly undocumented.

The process to run a Talos node in Scaleway is as follows :

  • Enable block storage on your Scaleway account (Scaleway will only allow snapshots from their block storage, not urls).
  • Download the qcow image of the Talos version you wish to run.
  • Upload it to your block storage using an s3 client or the web interface.
  • Configure the scw CLI to be able to access your account.
  • Create a snapshot from the image :
    • scw block snapshot import-from-object-storage name=talos-v1.10.3 bucket=YOUR-BUCKET key=talos.qcow2 size=10GB (this is assuming that you uploaded to a bucket called YOUR-BUCKET and a filename of talos.qcow2, to be called talos-v1.10.3.
  • Create your instance using the snapshot using the GUI/CLI/OpenTofu etc.
