KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

💖 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the kubernetes manual, section 1 (that's the "user commands" section, iykyk), and it was originally written by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015 ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubeadm init phase certs etcd-server — generate the certificate for serving etcd 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kubeadm init phase certs etcd-server [OPTIONS]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what this does is generate the certificate for serving etcd, and then it saves them into the etcd/server.crt and etcd/server.key files. That's it. That's the whole job. 👑

The default SANs are localhost, 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1, ::1 — yes bestie, 127.0.0.1 really is in there twice, I'm not kidding, that's literally what it says 🙈

And here's the chill part: if both files already exist, kubeadm skips the generation step entirely and the existing files just get used. no drama, no overwrite, we love a low-maintenance icon 🫶

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --cert-dir="/etc/kubernetes/pki" — the path where the certificates get saved and stored. that default path is iconic fr fr
• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file.
• --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. perfect for when you're nosy but not committed 💀
• --kubernetes-version="stable-1" — choose a specific Kubernetes version for the control plane.

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones aren't even hers, she got them from her parent commands, nepotism but make it useful ✨

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. this will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. yes, chroot. it's giving commitment.
• --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! 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this came from the Manuals / User shelf, and it's KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — go forth and generate those certs, you absolute main character 👑✨
