clusterctl config init

Write a first configuration to fill in

Synopsis

Write the least configuration that resolves, one document to a file: a Config with one context, a Site with a login node, a Cluster and an empty NodeInventory. The comments in each file say what to fill in; then check the result with “clusterctl config validate” and “clusterctl doctor”.

Without DIR the files are written where configuration is read from: the directory –config or CLUSTERCTL_CONFIG names, or else your own configuration directory, usually ~/.config/clusterctl. When either names several places, name the one to write to. Directories that are missing are created.

The directory has to be empty. One that holds anything, hidden files included, is refused rather than added to: this command writes nothing next to files it did not write, and overwrites nothing.
