OC-ADM-COPY-TO-NODE(1)

💅 OC ADM(1) — copy-to-node, bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for the oc adm copy-to-node command, straight out of the Openshift CLI User Manuals (dated June 2016, no cap) 💖 we're gonna get through it together.

✨ NAME ✨

oc adm copy-to-node — copies the files you specify over to the node. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 📁→🖥️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oc adm copy-to-node [OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It copies a file from the host over to the nodes you point at. iconic behavior, honestly. 🫶

Experimental: this command is under active development and may change without notice — so don't come for me if the vibes shift, okay? 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --all=false — select every resource in the namespace of the resource types you specified. all of them. the whole friend group. 👑
• --allow-missing-template-keys=true — if true, it just ignores any template errors when a field or map key is missing from the template. lowkey forgiving. only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats, fyi.
• --copy=[] — <source-path>=<node-destination>. if you hand it a directory, it iterates each named file in that directory, non-recursive (PR welcome — yes the manpage literally says that, I'm not making it up 💀) that is a valid secret key.
• --dry-run=false — set to true to use server-side dry run. practice mode. rehearsal. no actual commitment. 🙈
• --field-selector="" — selector (field query) to filter on. supports =, ==, and != (e.g. --field-selector key1=value1,key2=value2). heads up though: the server only supports a limited number of field queries per type. it's giving exclusivity.
• -f, --filename=[] — identifying the resource.
• --local=false — if true, annotation will NOT contact api-server and instead runs locally. staying in your own lane, off the grid. 🦋
• -o, --output="" — output format. one of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file). pick your aesthetic.
• --parallelism="10%" — parallelism is a raw number or a percentage of the nodes to work with concurrently. multitasking queen energy. ⚡
• -R, --recursive=true — process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory. it's giving organized. 🎀
• -l, --selector="" — selector (label query) to filter on. supports =, ==, and != (e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2).
• --show-managed-fields=false — if true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format. show it all, don't hide. 💅
• --template="" — template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. the template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].

🌸 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌸

like, these aren't even hers, she inherited them. still slay.

• --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. user could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
• --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation. this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. ✨
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --as-user-extra=[] — user extras to impersonate for the operation. this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
• --cache-dir="/homeless-shelter/.kube/cache" — default cache directory. (yes, /homeless-shelter is literally the path, don't @ me 😭)
• --certificate-authority="" — path to a cert file for the certificate authority.
• --client-certificate="" — path to a client certificate file for TLS.
• --client-key="" — path to a client key file for TLS.
• --cluster="" — the name of the kubeconfig cluster to use.
• --context="" — the name of the kubeconfig context to use.
• --disable-compression=false — if true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server.
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — if true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. this will make your HTTPS connections insecure — big yikes, only do this if you know what you're doing. 💀
• --kubeconfig="" — path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
• --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. this can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off.
• --match-server-version=false — require server version to match client version. matching outfits only. 👯
• -n, --namespace="" — if present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.
• --profile="none" — name of profile to capture. one of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex).
• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to.
• --request-timeout="0" — the length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). a value of zero means don't timeout requests. the patience of a saint, fr fr.
• -s, --server="" — the address and port of the Kubernetes API server.
• --tls-server-name="" — server name to use for server certificate validation. if it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used.
• --token="" — bearer token for authentication to the API server.
• --user="" — the name of the kubeconfig user to use.
• --warnings-as-errors=false — treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code. strict queen behavior. 👑

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

# Copy a new bootstrap kubeconfig file to node-0
oc adm copy-to-node --copy=new-bootstrap-kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/kubeconfig node/node-0

copying a fresh bootstrap kubeconfig over to node-0? that's the plot. 🎬
