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.

There are two images, one for bash shell and one for zsh.

• kubectl v 1.17.2, bash/zsh completion
• zsh-autosuggestions for zsh shell
• k9s cluster monitoring tool
• popular tools: curl, wget, git
• useful .bashrc/.zshrc aliases

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

• zsh docker pull piotrzan/kubectl-comp:zsh Dockerfile

• bash docker pull piotrzan/kubectl-comp Dockerfile

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

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

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.

Another option is running make (defaults to content of run script). Linux has make installed by default, for Windows please install first Make for Windows.

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, you can easily do it and use docker commit to create your own version of the image.
