Support for qemu provisioner in MacOS ?

[nicolas-g]

I have qemu install in my MacOS

qemu-system-aarch64 --version
QEMU emulator version 10.0.3

However if I try to create a cluster using the qemu provisioner I get the following error:

sudo --preserve-env=HOME talosctl cluster create --provisioner qemu

validating CIDR and reserving IPs
qemu provisioner is not supported on this platform

You're probably having an outdated version of talosctl

@frezbo no I don't, can you please re-open the discussion ?

 talosctl version --client
Client:
        Tag:         v1.10.5
        SHA:         undefined
        Built:       2025-07-03T14:21:40Z
        Go version:  go1.24.4
        OS/Arch:     darwin/arm64

Sure with sudo the talosctl is not older?

what does sudo --preserve-env=HOME talosctl version --client return?

[nicolas-g]

@frezbo the same

 sudo --preserve-env=HOME talosctl version --client
Client:
        Tag:         v1.10.5
        SHA:         undefined
        Built:       2025-07-03T14:21:40Z

It is only supported from 1.11+, and you can try with 1.11.0-beta.0 talosctl (but you can boot 1.10 Talos with it)
