💖 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about this lil gem from the kubernetes manual. we're in the kubeadm cinematic universe today and it's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm init phase etcd local — generate the static Pod manifest file for a local, single-node local etcd instance. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kubeadm init phase etcd local [OPTIONS]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so what this actually does: it generates the static Pod manifest file for a local, single-node local etcd instance. one etcd, one node, one manifest, no drama, no cap. the way she just makes the file for you?? obsessed 🎀

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --cert-dir="/etc/kubernetes/pki" — the path where to save and store the certificates. she needs a home for her certs, give her one 🏠
• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file. default is empty, meaning "nah, no config file, we're going off vibes and flags"
• --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. the manifestation option fr fr, you get to see the future without touching anything ✨
• --image-repository="registry.k8s.io" — choose a container registry to pull control plane images from
• --patches="" — path to a directory that contains files named "target[suffix][+patchtype].extension". for example, "kube-apiserver0+merge.yaml" or just "etcd.json".

okay this one is a whole syllabus so let me break it down the way a study group would 🧚

• "target" can be one of "kube-apiserver", "kube-controller-manager", "kube-scheduler", "etcd", "kubeletconfiguration", "corednsdeployment", "kubeproxydaemonset".
• "patchtype" can be one of "strategic", "merge" or "json" and they match the patch formats supported by kubectl. the default "patchtype" is "strategic".
• "extension" must be either "json" or "yaml".
• "suffix" is an optional string that can be used to determine which patches are applied first alpha-numerically.

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. this will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. she's going undercover into the host filesystem, main character energy honestly
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

# Generates the static Pod manifest file for etcd, functionally
# equivalent to what is generated by kubeadm init.
kubeadm init phase etcd local

# Generates the static Pod manifest file for etcd using options
# read from a configuration file.
kubeadm init phase etcd local --config config.yaml

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes, ate and left no crumbs 💖 this lil writeup lives in the Manuals manual set for User, under KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes), and the byline energy belongs to Eric Paris, Jan 2015 — so basically this page is a vintage icon, periodt ⭐🫶
