This repository contains a Terraform configuration to create a Talos cluster on Proxmox. It includes a basic Kubernetes configuration to run services on the cluster, which includes Cilium as CNI and ArgoCD.

• Proxmox server(s)
• terraform
• kubectl
• go
• nmap

• Make sure all tools are installed and are set in your PATH.
• Run make init to initialize the Terraform providers.
• Download the correct Talos release image and place it in a folder which Proxmox can access.
• Change the mac-to-ip_scan_subnets variable to match to subnets on which Proxmox creates the VMs by default.
• Optionally run terraform plan to see what will be created.
• Run make cluster to create the VMs, boot the Talos cluster and run some basic Kubernetes services.

• Terraform creates VMs in Proxmox using a Talos release image
• Terraform creates Talos configs and applies it to the VMs running Talos
• A Talos control plane is bootstrapped and a Talos cluster is formed
• Terraform generates the inline manifests which Talos installs
• Terraform waits for the nodes to be ready and installs ArgoCD
• ArgoCD installs all specified applications
• ArgoCD keeps the applications in sync with the manifests in this repository

If everything works as expected, ArgoCD should automatically install metrics-server on the just created Kubernetes cluster.
