👑 KubeOne(1) — the kubeconfig glow-up guide 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the KubeOne manual (yes, that's the kubeone command, the icon herself ✨) and it's all about the kubeone kubeconfig subcommand. she's a little one-trick pony but the trick is good. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

kubeone-kubeconfig — download the kubeconfig file from master 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeone kubeconfig [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she do? literally just download the kubeconfig file from master. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 👑

the way this works: this command takes a KubeOne manifest, and that manifest is where all the info about your hosts lives. and like — plot twist — you can also source the host info straight from Terraform output if that's more your thing, using the --tfjson flag. versatile icon behavior 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for kubeconfig. she explains herself, we love a self-aware queen 💖

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these ones are not even hers, she got them from the parent command. nepo baby but make it CLI ✨

  • -c, --credentials="" — file to source credentials and secrets from 🔑
  • -d, --debug[=false] — debug output with stacktrace. full receipts when things go sideways 😭
  • -l, --log-format="text" — format for logging
  • -m, --manifest="./kubeone.yaml" — path to the KubeOne config. default is ./kubeone.yaml so she'll look right there first 🗂️
  • -t, --tfjson="" — source for terraform output in JSON — to read from stdin. if the path is a file, contents will be used. if the path is a dictionary, terraform output -json is executed in this path 🔥
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — verbose output. she will tell you everything 🗣️

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

kubeone kubeconfig -m mycluster.yaml -t terraformoutput.json

look at her go. manifest from mycluster.yaml, terraform output from terraformoutput.json. slay 🦋
