💅 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — the kubeadm init phase addon glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to the kubernetes manual, the one and only, section 1, sitting pretty in the kubernetes manual family. this lil page is about one specific subcommand and yes it's giving ✨main character✨ energy even though it's technically just an addon installer. iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm init phase addon — install required addons for passing conformance tests 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeadm init phase addon [OPTIONS]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no positional args, no drama, just options 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Install required addons for passing conformance tests.

fr fr that's the whole description. this phase is the part that drops in the stuff you need so your cluster can actually pass conformance tests. no cap. not me getting emotional over a bootstrap phase 😭

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even its own options, they're the heirlooms passed down from the parent commands, and honestly? iconic. 💜

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. setting this makes kubeadm chroot into the path you hand it. so like, it's not playing around in your normal namespace anymore, it's stepping all the way into that directory and living there. type it carefully bestie, chroot does not do vibes-based error correction 🙈
• --version=false — okay so this one is a whole triple threat:
  • --version or --version=raw → prints version information and quits, periodt.
  • --version=vX.Y.Z... → sets the reported version.
  • default is false, as in, don't do any of that.

🦋 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!

not the "hopefully" 😭 he said please let a robot do this next time and honestly? relatable. respect to the OG though 🫡
