How to install Cozystack in Hetzner
⚠️ Secure Boot is currently not supported.
If your server configured to use Secure Boot, you need to disable this feature in your BIOS. Otherwise, it will block the server from booting after Talos Linux installation.
# mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled
Platform is in Setup Mode
Switch your server into rescue mode
Login to the server using SSH
Check Disks:
# lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1 259:4 0 476.9G 0 disk
nvme1n1 259:0 0 476.9G 0 disk
Download Talos Linux asset from the Cozystack’s releases page, and write it into disk:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/aenix-io/cozystack/releases/latest/download/nocloud-amd64.raw.xz
xz -d -c /tmp/metal-amd64.raw.xz | dd of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=4M oflag=sync
Resize the partition table and prepare additional partition for the cloud-init data:
# resize gpt partition
sgdisk -e /dev/nvme0n1
# Create 20MB partition in the end of disk
end=$(sgdisk -E /dev/nvme0n1)
sgdisk -n7:$(( $end - 40960 )):$end -t7:ef00 /dev/nvme0n1
# Create fat partion for cloud-init
mkfs.vfat -n CIDATA /dev/nvme0n1p7
# Mount cloud-init partition
mount /dev/nvme0n1p7 /mnt
Write cloud-init configuration
echo 'local-hostname: us-talos-1' > /mnt/meta-data
echo '#cloud-config' > /mnt/user-data
echo 'version: 2' > /mnt/network-config
Edit network-config and specify your network settings using network-config-format-v2.
version: 2
ethernets:
eth0:
match:
macaddress: 'a6:34:9e:c0:25:6b'
dhcp4: false
addresses:

- "2a01:4f3:341:524::2/64"
gateway4: "1.2.3.1"
gateway6: "fe80::1"
nameservers:
search: [cluster.local]
addresses: [8.8.8.8]
You can find more comprehensive example under the link
Umount cloud-init partition, sync changes, and reboot the server
umount /mnt
sync
reboot
Now, when it is booted to Talos Linux maintenance mode, you can use talos-bootstrap to bootstrap the cluster:
talos-bootstrap install -n 1.2.3.4
Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP-address of your remote node.
Now follow Get Started guide starting from the Bootstrap cluster section, to continue the installation.
