This lightweight alpine docker image provides kubectl and helm binaries for working with a Kubernetes cluster. A local configured kubectl is a prerequisite to use helm per helm documentation. This image is useful for general helm administration such as deploying helm charts and managing releases. Having bash installed allows for better support for troubleshooting by being able to exec / terminal in and run desired shell scripts. Git installed allows installation of helm plugins.

Example to just run helm on entry:
docker run --rm sequring/knife8s helm
By default kubectl will try to use /root/.kube/config file for connection to the kubernetes cluster, but does not exist by default in the image.

Example for use with personal administration or troubleshooting with volume mount for kubeconfig files:
docker run -it -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube sequring/knife8s
The -v maps your host docker machine Kubernetes configuration directory (~/.kube) to the container's Kubernetes configuration directory (root/.kube).

For doing a manual local build of the image:
make docker_build
