Boot the Talos ISO on the initial node
Prepare networking
- Internally:
  - Add a DNS entry for the cluster endpoint (router's /etc/hosts + dnsmasq) to point to the initial node
- Externally:
  - Add a DNS entry for the cluster endpoint to point to the router
  - Setup the router to forward external requests to the initial node
If you are not using this configuration:
- talosctl gen config "cluster-name" "cluster-endpoint"
- Edit files as needed
Apply the control plane config to the initial node
- talosctl apply-config --insecure --nodes "$INITIAL_NODE_ADDR" --file controlplane.yaml
- You will need to wait a bit for the configuration to be applied, Talos to install itself, for the node to reboot, and for post-boot initialization
Setup the client to communicate with the newly-configured node
- talosctl --talosconfig=./talosconfig config endpoint "$INITIAL_NODE_ADDR"
  - Optionally also make this the default with talosctl config merge ./talosconfig
Bootstrap the cluster
- talosctl bootstrap --nodes "$INITIAL_NODE_ADDR"
- You will need to wait a bit for Kubernetes to initialize
Pull down the kubeconfig
- talosctl kubeconfig

Once the cluster has finished initializing and starting up, you should be able to kubectl get nodes.

Boot the Talos ISO on the target node
Apply the appropriate configuration to the target node
- talosctl apply-config --insecure --nodes "$TARGET_NODE_ADDR" --file controlplane.yaml
- You will need to wait a bit for Kubernetes to initialize, start up, and then join the cluster
Add the node to talosconfig as needed

I can probably handle this with my router?
