💖 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the kubernetes manual, section 1 — yes she's the real deal, she's a User command, and she is ready to spill. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm init phase certs apiserver — generate the certificate for serving the Kubernetes API. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeadm init phase certs apiserver [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this bad boy generates the certificate for serving the Kubernetes API, and it saves them into the apiserver.crt and apiserver.key files. iconic behavior, no notes. 💖

and listen — if both of those files already exist, kubeadm literally just skips the whole generation step and the existing files get used instead. she's not doing extra work for nobody. periodt. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --apiserver-advertise-address="" — the IP address the API Server will advertise it's listening on. if you don't set it, the default network interface gets used. lowkey convenient fr.
  • --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=[] — optional extra Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to use for the API Server serving certificate. can be both IP addresses and DNS names, so go off. 🎀
  • --cert-dir="/etc/kubernetes/pki" — the path where to save and store the certificates. that's her home. 🏠
  • --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file.
  • --control-plane-endpoint="" — specify a stable IP address or DNS name for the control plane. stability is main character energy. 💜
  • --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. it's giving "pretend but make it informative". 🙈
  • --kubernetes-version="stable-1" — choose a specific Kubernetes version for the control plane.
  • --service-cidr="10.96.0.0/12" — use alternative range of IP address for service VIPs.
  • --service-dns-domain="cluster.local" — use alternative domain for services, e.g. "myorg.internal". cute name btw. 🌈

💫 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💫

these ones she got from her mother, we love a family tree. 🌸

  • --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. this will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. okay dramatic but valid. 💅
  • --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --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!

heads up bestie: the actual page says the API Server will advertise it's listening on — that's the original wording, I'm not touching it, I just report. 🤝

okay that's the whole page, you ate that. 💖 this was compiled from Manuals, User section, and it's KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — dated all the way back to Jan 2015 by Eric Paris. slay forever, king. 👑✨🫶
