KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page out of the Kubernetes manual — the User section, section 1, no cap. It was originally compiled by Eric Paris back in January 2015 and, like, we're all hoping it's been auto-generated ever since 🙈. Anyway. Sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about one very specific little certificate. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubeadm init phase certs etcd-healthcheck-client — generate the certificate for liveness probes to healthcheck etcd 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kubeadm init phase certs etcd-healthcheck-client [OPTIONS]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what this does: it generates the certificate that liveness probes use to healthcheck etcd, and it saves them into the files etcd/healthcheck-client.crt and etcd/healthcheck-client.key. That's the whole job. It's giving very "one task, done flawlessly, main character energy." 👑

And here's the lowkey important part, bestie — if both files already exist, kubeadm literally skips the generation step entirely and just uses the existing files. It does not redo them. It does not ask. It just vibes with what's already there. 🫶

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --cert-dir="/etc/kubernetes/pki" — the path where the certificates get saved and stored. Default is right there in the flag, "/etc/kubernetes/pki". 🍓
• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file. Default is empty, so no config file unless you say so.
• --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. Default false, and honestly turning this on first is such a smart-girl move. 🔥
• --kubernetes-version="stable-1" — choose a specific Kubernetes version for the control plane. Default "stable-1". ⭐

---

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

these ones aren't even hers, she's just borrowing them from the parent command, and that's valid 💜

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. This will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. Default is empty. Careful with this one, okay? It's literally chroot-ing. 😭
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version. Default false.

📜 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! 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. every flag, every default, every file, every vibe. ate and left no crumbs. 🎀
