OC-SET-ENV(1)
π NAME π
hey bestie, welcome to the oc set env page β aka OC SET(1) from the Openshift CLI User Manuals. This is the one that updates environment variables on a pod template, and yes it's giving main character energy π
oc set env β update environment variables on a pod template.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
oc set env [OPTIONS]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so the whole vibe: update environment variables on a pod template or a build config. You can list environment variable definitions in one or more pods, pod templates or build configuration. You can add, update, or remove container environment variable definitions in one or more pod templates (within replication controllers or deployment configurations) or build configurations. You can view or modify the environment variable definitions on all containers in the specified pods or pod templates, or just those that match a wildcard. periodt.
If --env - is passed, environment variables can be read from STDIN using the standard env syntax. no cap, that's the tea β

This will make your HTTPS connections insecure. β οΈ drama warning: insecure vibes only.--kubeconfig=""β Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.--kuberc=""β Path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. This can be disabled by exportingKUBECTL_KUBERC=falsefeature gate or turning off the featureKUBERC=off.--match-server-version=falseβ Require server version to match client version.-n,--namespace=""β If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.--profile="none"β Name of profile to capture. One of(none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex).--profile-output="profile.pprof"β Name of the file to write the profile to.--request-timeout="0"β 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=""β The address and port of the Kubernetes API server.--tls-server-name=""β Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used.--token=""β Bearer token for authentication to the API server.--user=""β The name of the kubeconfig user to use.--warnings-as-errors=falseβ Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code.
