# kubectl for docker users

In this doc, we introduce the kubernetes command line to for interacting with the api to docker-cli users. The tool, kubectl, is designed to be familiar to docker-cli users but there are a few necessary differences. Each section of this doc highlights a docker subcommand explains the kubectl equivalent.

#### docker run

How do I run an nginx container and expose it to the world? Checkout [kubectl run](kubectl/kubectl_run.md).

With docker:
```
$ docker run -d --restart=always --name nginx-app -p 80:80 nginx
a9ec34d9878748d2f33dc20cb25c714ff21da8d40558b45bfaec9955859075d0
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a9ec34d98787 nginx "nginx -g 'daemon of 2 seconds ago Up 2 seconds 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp nginx-app
```

With kubectl:
```
# start the pod running nginx
$ kubectl run --image=nginx nginx-app
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
nginx-app nginx-app nginx run=nginx-app 1
# expose a port through with a service
$ kubectl expose rc nginx-app --port=80 --name=nginx-http
NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP(S) PORT(S)
nginx-http run=nginx-app run=nginx-app 80/TCP
```

With kubectl, we create a [replication controller](replication-controller.md) which will make sure that N pods are running nginx (where in is the number of replicas stated in the spec, which defaults to 1). We also create a [service](services.md) with a selector that matches the replication controller's selector. See the [quick-start.md](quick-start.md) guide for more information.

#### docker ps

How do I list what is currently running? Checkout [kubectl get](kubectl/kubectl_get.md).

With docker:
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a9ec34d98787 nginx "nginx -g 'daemon of About an hour ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp nginx-app
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-app-5jyvm 1/1 Running 0 1h
```

#### docker exec

How do I execute a command in a container? Checkout [kubectl exec](kubectl/kubectl_exec.md).

With docker:
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a9ec34d98787 nginx "nginx -g 'daemon of 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp nginx-app
$ docker exec a9ec34d98787 cat /etc/hostname
a9ec34d98787
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-app-5jyvm 1/1 Running 0 10m
$ kubectl exec nginx-app-5jyvm -- cat /etc/hostname
nginx-app-5jyvm
```

What about interactive commands?


With docker:
```
$ docker exec -ti a9ec34d98787 /bin/sh
# exit
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl exec -ti nginx-app-5jyvm -- /bin/sh
# exit
```

For more information see [Getting into containers](getting-into-containers.md).

#### docker logs

How do I follow stdout/stderr of a running process? Checkout [kubectl logs](kubectl/kubectl_logs.md).


With docker:
```
$ docker logs -f a9e
192.168.9.1 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:04:02 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.35.0" "-"
192.168.9.1 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:04:03 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.35.0" "-"
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl logs -f nginx-app-zibvs
10.240.63.110 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:09:01 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.26.0" "-"
10.240.63.110 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:09:02 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.26.0" "-"
```

Now's a good time to mention slight difference between pods and containers; by default pods will not terminate if their process's exit. Instead it will restart the process. This is similar to the docker run option `--restart=always` with one major difference. In docker, the output for each invocation of the process is concatenated but for Kubernetes, each invokation is separate. To see the output from a prevoius run in kubernetes, do this:

```
$ kubectl logs --previous nginx-app-zibvs
10.240.63.110 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:09:01 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.26.0" "-"
10.240.63.110 - - [14/Jul/2015:01:09:02 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 612 "-" "curl/7.26.0" "-"
```

See [Logging](logging.md) for more information.

#### docker stop and docker rm

How do I stop and delete a running process? Checkout [kubectl delete](kubectl/kubectl_delete.md).

With docker
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a9ec34d98787 nginx "nginx -g 'daemon of 22 hours ago Up 22 hours 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp nginx-app
$ docker stop a9ec34d98787
a9ec34d98787
$ docker rm a9ec34d98787
a9ec34d98787
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl get rc nginx-app
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
nginx-app nginx-app nginx run=nginx-app 1
$ kubectl get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-app-aualv 1/1 Running 0 16s
$ kubectl delete rc nginx-app
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-app-aualv 1/1 Running 0 16s
$ kubectl get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
```

Notice that we don't delete the pod directly. With kubectl we want to delete the replication controller that owns the pod. If we delete the pod directly, the replication controller will recreate the pod.

#### docker login

There is no direct analog of 'docker login' in kubectl. If you are interested in using Kubernetes with a private registry, see [Using a Private Registry](images.md#using-a-private-registry).

#### docker version

How do I get the version of my client and server? Checkout [kubectl version](kubectl/kubectl_version.md).

With docker:
```
$ docker version
Client version: 1.7.0
Client API version: 1.19
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 0baf609
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64
Server version: 1.7.0
Server API version: 1.19
Go version (server): go1.4.2
Git commit (server): 0baf609
OS/Arch (server): linux/amd64
```

With kubectl:
```
$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"0", Minor:"20.1", GitVersion:"v0.20.1", GitCommit:"", GitTreeState:"not a git tree"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"0", Minor:"21+", GitVersion:"v0.21.1-411-g32699e873ae1ca-dirty", GitCommit:"32699e873ae1caa01812e41de7eab28df4358ee4", GitTreeState:"dirty"}
```

#### docker info

How do I get miscellaneous info about my environment and configuration? Checkout [kubectl cluster-info](kubectl/kubectl_cluster-info.md).

With docker:
```
$ docker info
Containers: 40
Images: 168
