✨ kubeadm init phase kubelet-start ✨

aka the glow-up moment for your kubelet settings — straight out of the kubernetes manual, bestie 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubeadm init phase kubelet-start — write kubelet settings and (re)start the kubelet 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubeadm init phase kubelet-start [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this phase writes a file with KubeletConfiguration plus an environment file stuffed with node-specific kubelet settings, and then it (re)starts the kubelet. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "set it up and boot it up" energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file 📄
• --cri-socket="" — path to the CRI socket to connect. If it's empty, kubeadm will try to auto-detect this value for you (so helpful, love that for you). Use this option only if you have more than one CRI installed, or if your CRI socket is non-standard. 🔌
• --dry-run=false — don't apply any changes, just output what would be done. A little sneak peek, no commitment. 🙈
• --image-repository="registry.k8s.io" — choose a container registry to pull control plane images from 🐳
• --node-name="" — specify the node name. Name it something cute, idk. 🏷️
• --patches="" — path to a directory containing files named "target[suffix][+patchtype].extension". For example, "kube-apiserver0+merge.yaml" or just "etcd.json".
  • "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. 🏠
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version. 📌

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

  # Writes a dynamic environment file with kubelet flags from a InitConfiguration file.

👑 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! 😭 honestly relatable.
