KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

💖 KUBERNETES — section 1, bestie 💖

okay so this is a manual page from the kubernetes manuals, section 1 — the user commands zone. Written up by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015. Buckle up, we're generating kubeconfigs and it's gonna be adorable. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm init phase kubeconfig controller-manager — generate a kubeconfig file for the controller manager to use 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kubeadm init phase kubeconfig controller-manager [OPTIONS]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: this command generates the kubeconfig file for the controller manager to use, and then it saves it to the controller-manager.conf file. That's it. That's the whole job. It's giving ✨focused✨. 💅

---

✨ 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. no thoughts, just vibes 🌸
• --apiserver-bind-port=6443 — the port for the API Server to bind to. six four four three, iconic number, we love her 👑
• --cert-dir="/etc/kubernetes/pki" — the path where to save and store the certificates. 📁
• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file. 🗂️
• --control-plane-endpoint="" — specify a stable IP address or DNS name for the control plane. stable is the keyword here bestie, we love something reliable 🫶
• --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. pretend mode!! literally just a rehearsal, nothing actually happens 🙈
• --kubeconfig-dir="/etc/kubernetes" — the path where to save the kubeconfig file. 💾
• --kubernetes-version="stable-1" — choose a specific Kubernetes version for the control plane. ⭐

---

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these ones come from the parent command, they're family 💜

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. This will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. heads up: it literally chroots in there, so know what you're doing 😭
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version. 🏷️
