|
## Kubectl Autocomplete
|
|
|
|
### BASH
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
source <(kubectl completion bash) # setup autocomplete in bash into the current shell, bash-completion package should be installed first.
|
|
echo "source <(kubectl completion bash)" >> ~/.bashrc # add autocomplete permanently to your bash shell.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use a shorthand alias for `kubectl` that also works with completion:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
alias k=kubectl
|
|
complete -F __start_kubectl k
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ZSH
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
source <(kubectl completion zsh) # setup autocomplete in zsh into the current shell
|
|
echo "[[ $commands[kubectl] ]] && source <(kubectl completion zsh)" >> ~/.zshrc # add autocomplete permanently to your zsh shell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Kubectl Context and Configuration
|
|
|
|
Set which Kubernetes cluster `kubectl` communicates with and modifies configuration
|
|
information. See [Authenticating Across Clusters with kubeconfig](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-access-multiple-clusters/) documentation for
|
|
detailed config file information.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl config view # Show Merged kubeconfig settings.
|
|
|
|
# use multiple kubeconfig files at the same time and view merged config
|
|
KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config:~/.kube/kubconfig2
|
|
|
|
kubectl config view
|
|
|
|
# get the password for the e2e user
|
|
kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.users[?(@.name == "e2e")].user.password}'
|
|
|
|
kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.users[].name}' # display the first user
|
|
kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.users[*].name}' # get a list of users
|
|
kubectl config get-contexts # display list of contexts
|
|
kubectl config current-context # display the current-context
|
|
kubectl config use-context my-cluster-name # set the default context to my-cluster-name
|
|
|
|
# add a new cluster to your kubeconf that supports basic auth
|
|
kubectl config set-credentials kubeuser/foo.kubernetes.com --username=kubeuser --password=kubepassword
|
|
|
|
# permanently save the namespace for all subsequent kubectl commands in that context.
|
|
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=ggckad-s2
|
|
|
|
# set a context utilizing a specific username and namespace.
|
|
kubectl config set-context gce --user=cluster-admin --namespace=foo \
|
|
&& kubectl config use-context gce
|
|
|
|
kubectl config unset users.foo # delete user foo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Apply
|
|
`apply` manages applications through files defining Kubernetes resources. It creates and updates resources in a cluster through running `kubectl apply`. This is the recommended way of managing Kubernetes applications on production. See [Kubectl Book](https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io).
|
|
|
|
## Creating Objects
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes manifests can be defined in YAML or JSON. The file extension `.yaml`,
|
|
`.yml`, and `.json` can be used.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -f ./my-manifest.yaml # create resource(s)
|
|
kubectl apply -f ./my1.yaml -f ./my2.yaml # create from multiple files
|
|
kubectl apply -f ./dir # create resource(s) in all manifest files in dir
|
|
kubectl apply -f https://git.io/vPieo # create resource(s) from url
|
|
kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx # start a single instance of nginx
|
|
kubectl explain pods # get the documentation for pod manifests
|
|
|
|
# Create multiple YAML objects from stdin
|
|
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
|

## Viewing, Finding Resources
|
|
|
|
```bash

|
|
kubectl diff -f ./my-manifest.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating Resources
|
|
|
|
As of version 1.11 `rolling-update` have been deprecated (see [CHANGELOG-1.11.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.11.md)), use `rollout` instead.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl set image deployment/frontend www=image:v2 # Rolling update "www" containers of "frontend" deployment, updating the image
|
|
kubectl rollout history deployment/frontend # Check the history of deployments including the revision
|
|
kubectl rollout undo deployment/frontend # Rollback to the previous deployment
|
|
kubectl rollout undo deployment/frontend --to-revision=2 # Rollback to a specific revision
|
|
kubectl rollout status -w deployment/frontend # Watch rolling update status of "frontend" deployment until completion
|
|
kubectl rollout restart deployment/frontend # Rolling restart of the "frontend" deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
# deprecated starting version 1.11
|
|
kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 -f frontend-v2.json # (deprecated) Rolling update pods of frontend-v1
|
|
kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 frontend-v2 --image=image:v2 # (deprecated) Change the name of the resource and update the image
|
|
kubectl rolling-update frontend --image=image:v2 # (deprecated) Update the pods image of frontend
|
|
kubectl rolling-update frontend-v1 frontend-v2 --rollback # (deprecated) Abort existing rollout in progress
|
|
|
|
cat pod.json | kubectl replace -f - # Replace a pod based on the JSON passed into std
|
|
|
|
# Force replace, delete and then re-create the resource. Will cause a service outage.
|
|
kubectl replace --force -f ./pod.json
|
|
|
|
# Create a service for a replicated nginx, which serves on port 80 and connects to the containers on port 8000
|
|
kubectl expose rc nginx --port=80 --target-port=8000
|
|
|
|
# Update a single-container pod's image version (tag) to v4
|
|
kubectl get pod mypod -o yaml | sed 's/\(image: myimage\):.*$/\1:v4/' | kubectl replace -f -
|
|
|
|
kubectl label pods my-pod new-label=awesome # Add a Label
|
|
kubectl annotate pods my-pod icon-url=http://goo.gl/XXBTWq # Add an annotation
|
|
kubectl autoscale deployment foo --min=2 --max=10 # Auto scale a deployment "foo"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Patching Resources
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Partially update a node
|
|
kubectl patch node k8s-node-1 -p '{"spec":{"unschedulable":true}}'
|
|
|
|
# Update a container's image; spec.containers[*].name is required because it's a merge key
|
|
kubectl patch pod valid-pod -p '{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"kubernetes-serve-hostname","image":"new image"}]}}'
|
|
|
|
# Update a container's image using a json patch with positional arrays
|
|
kubectl patch pod valid-pod --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/containers/0/image", "value":"new image"}]'
|
|
|
|
# Disable a deployment livenessProbe using a json patch with positional arrays
|
|
kubectl patch deployment valid-deployment --type json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/livenessProbe"}]'
|
|
|
|
# Add a new element to a positional array
|
|
kubectl patch sa default --type='json' -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/secrets/1", "value": {"name": "whatever" } }]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Editing Resources
|
|
Edit any API resource in your preferred editor.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl edit svc/docker-registry # Edit the service named docker-registry
|
|
KUBE_EDITOR="nano" kubectl edit svc/docker-registry # Use an alternative editor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Scaling Resources
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl scale --replicas=3 rs/foo # Scale a replicaset named 'foo' to 3
|
|
kubectl scale --replicas=3 -f foo.yaml # Scale a resource specified in "foo.yaml" to 3
|
|
kubectl scale --current-replicas=2 --replicas=3 deployment/mysql # If the deployment named mysql's current size is 2, scale mysql to 3
|
|
kubectl scale --replicas=5 rc/foo rc/bar rc/baz # Scale multiple replication controllers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deleting Resources
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl delete -f ./pod.json # Delete a pod using the type and name specified in pod.json
|
|
kubectl delete pod,service baz foo # Delete pods and services with same names "baz" and "foo"
|
|
kubectl delete pods,services -l name=myLabel # Delete pods and services with label name=myLabel
|
|
kubectl -n my-ns delete pod,svc --all # Delete all pods and services in namespace my-ns,
|
|
# Delete all pods matching the awk pattern1 or pattern2
|
|
kubectl get pods -n mynamespace --no-headers=true | awk '/pattern1|pattern2/{print $1}' | xargs kubectl delete -n mynamespace pod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Interacting with running Pods
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl logs my-pod # dump pod logs (stdout)
|
|
kubectl logs -l name=myLabel # dump pod logs, with label name=myLabel (stdout)
|
|
kubectl logs my-pod --previous # dump pod logs (stdout) for a previous instantiation of a container
|
|
kubectl logs my-pod -c my-container # dump pod container logs (stdout, multi-container case)
|
|
kubectl logs -l name=myLabel -c my-container # dump pod logs, with label name=myLabel (stdout)
|
|
kubectl logs my-pod -c my-container --previous # dump pod container logs (stdout, multi-container case) for a previous instantiation of a container
|
|
kubectl logs -f my-pod # stream pod logs (stdout)
|
|
kubectl logs -f my-pod -c my-container # stream pod container logs (stdout, multi-container case)
|
|
kubectl logs -f -l name=myLabel --all-containers # stream all pods logs with label name=myLabel (stdout)
|
|
kubectl run -i --tty busybox --image=busybox -- sh # Run pod as interactive shell
|
|
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never -n
|
|
mynamespace # Run pod nginx in a specific namespace
|
|
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never # Run pod nginx and write its spec into a file called pod.yaml
|
|
--dry-run -o yaml > pod.yaml
|
|
|
|
kubectl attach my-pod -i # Attach to Running Container
|
|
kubectl port-forward my-pod 5000:6000 # Listen on port 5000 on the local machine and forward to port 6000 on my-pod
|
|
kubectl exec my-pod -- ls / # Run command in existing pod (1 container case)
|
|
kubectl exec my-pod -c my-container -- ls / # Run command in existing pod (multi-container case)
|
|
kubectl top pod POD_NAME --containers # Show metrics for a given pod and its containers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Interacting with Nodes and Cluster
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl cordon my-node # Mark my-node as unschedulable
|
|
kubectl drain my-node # Drain my-node in preparation for maintenance
|
|
kubectl uncordon my-node # Mark my-node as schedulable
|
|
kubectl top node my-node # Show metrics for a given node
|
|
kubectl cluster-info # Display addresses of the master and services
|
|
kubectl cluster-info dump # Dump current cluster state to stdout
|
|
kubectl cluster-info dump --output-directory=/path/to/cluster-state # Dump current cluster state to /path/to/cluster-state
|
|
|
|
# If a taint with that key and effect already exists, its value is replaced as specified.
|
|
kubectl taint nodes foo dedicated=special-user:NoSchedule
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Resource types
|
|
|
|
List all supported resource types along with their shortnames, [API group](/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/#api-groups), whether they are [namespaced](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces), and [Kind](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/kubernetes-objects):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl api-resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Other operations for exploring API resources:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl api-resources --namespaced=true # All namespaced resources
|
|
kubectl api-resources --namespaced=false # All non-namespaced resources
|
|
kubectl api-resources -o name # All resources with simple output (just the resource name)
|
|
kubectl api-resources -o wide # All resources with expanded (aka "wide") output
|
|
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list,get # All resources that support the "list" and "get" request verbs
|
|
kubectl api-resources --api-group=extensions # All resources in the "extensions" API group
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Formatting output
|
|
|
|
To output details to your terminal window in a specific format, add the `-o` (or `--output`) flag to a supported `kubectl` command.
|
|
|
|
Output format | Description
|
|
--------------| -----------
|
|
`-o=custom-columns=<spec>` | Print a table using a comma separated list of custom columns
|
|
`-o=custom-columns-file=<filename>` | Print a table using the custom columns template in the `<filename>` file
|
|
`-o=json` | Output a JSON formatted API object
|
|
`-o=jsonpath=<template>` | Print the fields defined in a [jsonpath](/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath) expression
|
|
`-o=jsonpath-file=<filename>` | Print the fields defined by the [jsonpath](/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath) expression in the `<filename>` file
|
|
`-o=name` | Print only the resource name and nothing else
|
|
`-o=wide` | Output in the plain-text format with any additional information, and for pods, the node name is included
|
|
`-o=yaml` | Output a YAML formatted API object
|
|
|
|
### Kubectl output verbosity and debugging
|
|
|
|
Kubectl verbosity is controlled with the `-v` or `--v` flags followed by an integer representing the log level. General Kubernetes logging conventions and the associated log levels are described [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-instrumentation/logging.md).
|
|
|
|
Verbosity | Description
|
|
--------------| -----------
|
|
`--v=0` | Generally useful for this to *always* be visible to a cluster operator.
|
|
`--v=1` | A reasonable default log level if you don't want verbosity.
|
|
`--v=2` | Useful steady state information about the service and important log messages that may correlate to significant changes in the system. This is the recommended default log level for most systems.
|
|
`--v=3` | Extended information about changes.
|
|
`--v=4` | Debug level verbosity.
|
|
`--v=6` | Display requested resources.
|
|
`--v=7` | Display HTTP request headers.
|
|
`--v=8` | Display HTTP request contents.
|
|
`--v=9` | Display HTTP request contents without truncation of contents.
