Pine64
Prerequisites
You will need
talosctl
- an SD card
Download the latest talosctl
.
curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/talosctl https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/v1.9.0-alpha.0/talosctl-$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")-amd64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/talosctl
Download the Image
The default schematic id for “vanilla” Pine64 is 185431e0f0bf34c983c6f47f4c6d3703aa2f02cd202ca013216fd71ffc34e175
.
Refer to the Image Factory documentation for more information.
Download the image and decompress it:
curl -LO https://factory.talos.dev/image/185431e0f0bf34c983c6f47f4c6d3703aa2f02cd202ca013216fd71ffc34e175/v1.9.0-alpha.0/metal-arm64.raw.xz
xz -d metal-arm64.raw.xz
Writing the Image
The path to your SD card can be found using fdisk
on Linux or diskutil
on macOS.
In this example, we will assume /dev/mmcblk0
.
Now dd
the image to your SD card:
sudo dd if=metal-arm64.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0 conv=fsync bs=4M
Bootstrapping the Node
Insert the SD card to your board, turn it on and wait for the console to show you the instructions for bootstrapping the node. Following the instructions in the console output to connect to the interactive installer:
talosctl apply-config --insecure --mode=interactive --nodes <node IP or DNS name>
Once the interactive installation is applied, the cluster will form and you can then use kubectl
.
Retrieve the kubeconfig
Retrieve the admin kubeconfig
by running:
talosctl kubeconfig
Upgrading
For example, to upgrade to the latest version of Talos, you can run:
talosctl -n <node IP or DNS name> upgrade --image=factory.talos.dev/installer/185431e0f0bf34c983c6f47f4c6d3703aa2f02cd202ca013216fd71ffc34e175:v1.9.0-alpha.0
