OC-CONFIG-SET-CONTEXT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

oc config set-context — set a context entry in kubeconfig. This is the oc config manual page, aka OC CONFIG(1) 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

oc config set-context [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, this command sets a context entry in kubeconfig. That’s the main character move. 💖

Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values for those fields. So yeah, it’s giving “blend, don’t bulldoze” energy. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --cluster="" — cluster for the context entry in kubeconfig. 🫶
• --current=false — modify the current context. Default is false.
• -n, --namespace="" — namespace for the context entry in kubeconfig. 🧚
• --user="" — user for the context entry in kubeconfig. 👑

🫶 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🫶

• --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, that path is literally the default. 🗂️
• --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.
• --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. ⚠️ Not a cute idea unless you know what you’re doing.
• --kubeconfig="" — use a particular kubeconfig file.
• --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.
• --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. ⏳
• -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.
• --warnings-as-errors=false — treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

# Set the user field on the gce context entry without touching other values
oc config set-context gce --user=cluster-admin

Obsessed with a one-liner that sets the user field on the gce context entry without touching other values. 💅
