How I PXE booted a Talos Kubernetes cluster using a Raspberry Pi

In my previous post I mentioned three NUCs sitting on a shelf waiting to become a Kubernetes cluster. This is part one: getting the nodes to boot and wiring up the cluster. CozyStack goes on top. That’s the next post.
Why PXE? #
I actually started with USB sticks, one per NUC, each flashed with the same Talos image. It works, but it’s a manual process every time: flash, plug in, boot, remove, repeat. I know I’ll be rebuilding this cluster more than once, and I didn’t want that to involve physical media each time.
