✨ kubeadm kubeconfig user ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kubeadm kubeconfig user manual page 💖 (it lives in the kubernetes manual, section 1, if you were wondering where to find it in the wild 🦋)

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubeadm kubeconfig user — spit out a kubeconfig file for an extra user, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubeadm kubeconfig user [OPTIONS]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So literally what this does is output a kubeconfig file for an additional user. That's the whole vibe. You want somebody else to be able to talk to your cluster and you need a config file for them? Yeah. This. 🫶

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --client-name="" — the name of the user 🧚 it gets used as the CN</> if client certificates are created, iykyk
• --config="" — path to a kubeadm configuration file 📁
• --org=[] — the organizations of the client certificate 🌈 it gets used as the O</> if client certificates are created
• --token="" — the token that should be used as the authentication mechanism for this kubeconfig, instead of client certificates 🔑
• --validity-period=8760h0m0s — the validity period of the client certificate ⏳ it's an offset from the current time, so it's counting from now, not from some fixed date, bestie

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these come from the parent command, they're not this one's own, but they still show up to the party 🎉

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem 🗂️ this will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. yeah. it does that. 😭
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version 📌

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

# Output a kubeconfig file for an additional user named foo
kubeadm kubeconfig user --client-name=foo

# Output a kubeconfig file for an additional user named foo using a kubeadm config file bar
kubeadm kubeconfig user --client-name=foo --config=bar

like. look at that. two whole examples. we ate 🔥
