deploy.sh

A simple, daily-driver script for managing a local ephemeral Talos K8s cluster using Docker.

Designed for fast, throwaway environments; perfect for testing, tinkering, or starting fresh each day without carrying over old state.

The script provides three commands:

• up – Create a Talos cluster
• destroy – Remove a cluster by name
• status – Show the current Kubernetes context and node status

---

Requirements

• Docker
• Talos CLI (talosctl)
• kubectl
• k9s (optional; detected automatically)

---

Usage

./deploy.sh up [cluster-name]
./deploy.sh destroy <cluster-name>
./deploy.sh status

---

Notes

• If no cluster name is provided, Talos uses its default naming.
