KubeOne(1)

📦 version 1.12.3, in arch rolling

💅 KubeOne(1) — the kubeone glow-up guide 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to kubeone, the manual page for the Kubernetes Cluster provisioning and maintaining tool. that's the whole vibe. KubeOne(1), but make it a whole personality. let's get into it ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeone [flags]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. flags are optional, destiny is not 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Provision and maintain Kubernetes High-Availability clusters with ease.

no cap, that's literally the whole pitch — high availability, provisioned and maintained, and it's easy. main character tool behaviour, honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single flag, no skips, no gatekeeping. iykyk 💅

  • -c, --credentials="" — the file to source credentials and secrets from. your lil vault of secrets, she's serving security 🔐
  • -d, --debug[=false] — debug output with stacktrace. when things go feral, this is how you find out exactly where 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for kubeone. the classic "bestie i'm lost" button 🫶
  • -l, --log-format="text" — format for logging. default is literally "text" in quotes, and yes, you keep the quotes exactly like that 💖
  • -m, --manifest="./kubeone.yaml" — path to the KubeOne config. defaults to ./kubeone.yaml, so if your config is right there in the current dir you're already slaying 🎀
  • -t, --tfjson="" — source for terraform output in JSON, 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. three modes, one flag, highkey iconic 🌈
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — verbose output. for when you want the whole story, not just the highlight reel 📖
ngl, -d and -v are two different flags, don't be out here thinking one is the other. debug gives you stacktraces, verbose gives you chatter. both, however, give you information ✨
