Resetting a Node

Resetting a node removes all data and configuration - returning it to a pre-initialized state.

Graceful reset

By default, Talos will attempt to cordon and drain the node prior to the node reset. This will not work if all control-plane nodes are being reset. Use the --graceful=false option in these situations.

Reset nodes

homelab talosctl -n node-1,node-2 reset --reboot --system-labels-to-wipe=EPHEMERAL,STATE

Once reset, refer to Adding a Node to re-initialize the node back into the cluster.
