KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm certs certificate-key — bestie, it generates certificate keys 💖

This is from the KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) manual, and honestly? It's giving "small command, big main character energy". 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeadm certs certificate-key [OPTIONS]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command prints out a secure, randomly-generated certificate key, and you can use that key with the init command. That's it. That's the whole job. And it does it flawlessly, no cap. ✨

You also have another option, and it's lowkey iconic: you can run kubeadm init --upload-certs without specifying a certificate key at all, and it will just generate one and print it out for you. So the command is like... out here doing the work so you don't have to. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. Setting this makes kubeadm chroot into whatever path you hand it. Yeah. It goes in. 🦋
• --version=false — --version or --version=raw prints version information and then dips out (quits, bestie 💀). And --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version.

📜 HISTORY 📜

January 2015, originally compiled by Eric Paris (eparis at redhat dot com) based on the kubernetes source material, but hopefully they have been automatically generated since! 🧚 (fingers crossed, fr fr 🙈)
