Then, click on your username from the top right and select `OpenStack RC File`. This will give you a file named `project_1234567-openrc.sh` which will be used by the scripts for API access. Save it into the `work` directory, which is used as the working directory of the container.

Next, since cPouta only hands out ephemeral IPv4 addresses, we need to set up [Dynamic DNS (DDNS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS) for the cluster. This can be done using external services, such as [dy.fi](https://www.dy.fi/) (Finland-only), or any other service supported by [ddclient](https://ddclient.net/). A configuration template is provided in [`ddclient.template.conf`](work/ddclient.template.conf). Copying this file to `ddclient.conf` and filling it out will set up automatic dynamic DNS reconciliation in the cluster during bringup.

The nodes should now be running with the baseline configuration, and ready to be fully configured with `talos-bootstrap`.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If using dynamic DNS, the cPouta tooling will automatically register the DDNS FQDN as a SAN for the cluster certificate. To preserve access after running `talos-bootstrap`, it must be fed a configuration patch that looks as follows:
> ```yaml

### Applying Supernetes Configuration with `talos-bootstrap`
The full configuration is applied using [talos-bootstrap](https://github.com/twelho/talos-bootstrap), which is provided as a submodule in this repo.
