The purpose of this tool is to have a fully portable kubectl command line tool with a few convinience utilities. Quick testing of a cluster with well-known/customized kubectl setup.

• kubectl v 1.17.2
• kubectl bash completion
• krew plugin
• k9s cluster monitoring tool
• common .bashrc aliases

After running docker container, all the clusters running on the localhost should be available for kubectl command.

docker build --rm -f "Dockerfile" -t piotrzan/kubectl-comp "."

Use run.ps1 or run.sh for windows or linux respectivels. Alternatively use docker-compose.yaml, this works by mounting a volume on the $HOME/.kube folder on the host.

Run contianer with passthrough to local network docker run -d --network=host --name=kubectl-host --rm -it piotrzan/kubectl-comp

Generate raw config from kubeclt on localhost and copy the config to the container kubeclt config view --raw > config docker cp ./config kubectl-host:./root/.kube

Attach back to the contianer with kubeconfig file containing info about clusters running on localhost docker attach kubectl-host

If you would like to add your own customization or krew plugins, you can easily do it and use docker commit to create your own version of the image.
