Talos Linux Control Plane Node fails to install properly on Proxmox 8.4.1

[alpha754293]

I followed the instructions on the Talos Linux Proxmox Installation Guide to a tee, generated the config files for the controlplane, worker, and talosconfig. I applied the controlplane to the first node, and when it automatically reboots, this is what I get:

And it will stay like this, pretty much forever.

I'm trying to use Talos Linux version 1.11.5.

I tried issuing the talosctl bootstrap, but it says: error constructing client: failed to determine endpoints.

I've tried to make this as simple as possible.

SecureBoot doesn't work, so I am using the metal-amd64.iso.

The QEMU guest agent also didn't work, so I took that out as well.

The CPU type, in the VM that I created, it set to "host".

I gave it 4 cores from an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, and also gave it 16 GiB of RAM. (My system has 128 GB installed.)

Any help in regards to either updating the Talos Linux Proxmox Installation Guide (the video dates back to version 0.70beta), to help me get this going so that I can play/experiment with it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

On an unrelated note/sidebar, when I apply the worker config to a different VM that's configured exactly the same way as the control plane VM, that worked and is healthy. But for some reason, the control plane has this issue when it can't connect to <IP_address>:6443 for some reason.

And I used this command to create the config files:
talosctl gen config talos-proxmox-cluster https://$CONTROL_PLANE_IP:6443 --output-dir _out

So, it should all be there. Not really sure why this isn't working, per said documentation. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

edit
After watching the "official" YouTube video on how to set this up on Proxmox, that, unfortunately, wasn't particularly helpful.

However, watching a similar video from Jim's Garage, he mentions that you need to run:

talosctl config endpoint {{ control_plane_ip }} --talosconfig {{ config_file }}

taloctl config node {{ control_plane_ip}} --talosconfig {{ config_file }}

and then bootstrap it using:
talosctl bootstrap --talosconfig {{ config_file }}

That worked for me.

If there are people here who might have the ability to update the Talos Proxmox documentation to include these steps, that would be very helpful.

Thank you.
