Talos linux on incus vm

[dtor123]

Hello,

When applying my node configuration on a vm created with incus and talos bare-metal iso (1.8.1, 1.9.1 and 1.9.2) the ipv4 address is removed the dashboard and no longer works (any talosctl commands with -n ipv4). Yet a talosctl get address -n ipv6 stil shows the ipv4 address. The talos logs only show the ipv6 as useable for port 6443. The ipv4 gateway address remains intact.

The consequence is that after the first "apply-config" ipv4 assigned address no longer works within talos. I have tried to set in the initial apply-config "network: {}" to several different options but nothing remediates the problem.

I would like to know how to debug this further and if anyone else experienced this problem.

Thank you for your time!

Do you have documentation or steps you used to run Talos in incus? It's been something I wanted to try to see how different it is (if at all) from docker.

incus let's you use linux containers and qemu virtual machines.
for talos one uses the incus virtual machines.

I assume you have a machine with incus running on it.

"talos-one" is the instance name.

incus init talos-one --empty --vm
incus config device override talos-one root size=150GiB
incus config set talos-one limits.cpu=4
incus config set talos-one limits.memory=3GiB
incus config device add talos-one install disk source=/path/to/talos/iso/metal-amd64.iso boot.priority=10
incus config set talos-one security.secureboot false

after this it's

incus start talos-one --console=vga

And beside attaching an iso you could create a vm image for incus from the talos supplied https://factory.talos.dev/.
For that I used https://github.com/f-bn/incus-images/blob/main/bin/build-talos-image as an example. which makes it easier to deploy using terraform/tofu.
