kubectl explain pods
TTY connect to your container and make sure kubectl is installed.
When you are connected to a container deployed in Kubernetes cluster, it already has access to Kubernetes config and certificates, you only need to import them:
kubectl config set-cluster \
default --server=https://kubernetes.default \
--certificate-authority=/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt
kubectl config set-context default --cluster=default
token=$(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token)
kubectl config set-credentials user --token=$token
kubectl config set-context default --user=user
kubectl config use-context default
Do not replace any path or URL, you can use exactly the command above.
At this point you should have the file
~/.kube/config.cat ~/.kube/config
WORKAROUND: if, by any change, you are having a hard time, you can get the
/root/.kube/config file from your original installation and restore it inside your container.server=https://192.168.99.101:8443

kubectl config get-clusters

kubectl api-resources --verbs=list -o name | xargs -n 1 kubectl get -o name
Get logs from a previous restart pod:
kubectl \
-n nmp-fm-mcd-001 logs \
POD-NAME \
-c CONTAINER-NAME --previous
kubectl delete namespaces --grace-period=0 --force my-namespace
If the namespace is not deleted, check its manifest:
kubectl get namespace my-namespace -o yaml
Check if it has any
finalizers, for example:...
finalizers:
- controller.cattle.io/namespace-auth
...
Edit it:
kubectl edit namespace my-namespace
And delete the
finalizers block.If it does not work, export namespace manifest to a file.
kubectl get ns my-namespace -o json > my-namespace.json
Edit the file, on
finalizers block, remove "kubernetes" (or any other existing finalizer).kubectl replace --raw "/api/v1/namespaces/my-namespace/finalize" -f ./my-namespace.json
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
kubectl auth can-i list deployment
List your pods:
kubectl get pods
Locate the one you want access, get its name, and run:
kubectl exec -it --user=root hal-66b97c4c88-b675b bash
Replace --user=root with your container user and hal-66b97c4c88-b675b with your pod name.
If your namespace has only one pod, your use only one command:
NAMESPACE=YOUR-NAMESPACE
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE \
exec -it \
$(kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get pods | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $1}') bash
If by any reason you could not use kubectl exec (for example, if your container does not allow root auth), then SSH to your K8s worker node which is hosting your pod.
Locate the container you want to connect to:
docker ps |grep "halyard"
Replace halyard with any keyword you want.
Then connect to it:
docker exec -it --user root 261d763bf353 bash
Never force pod deletion unless it is really necessary
If you have a pod which is referenced by a Replica Set that does not exist and you are stuck, force pod deletion.
kubectl -n PUT-YOUR-NAMESPACE-HERE \
delete pod PUT-YOUR-POD-NAME-HERE \
--grace-period=0 --force
Replace PUT-YOUR-NAMESPACE-HERE
Replace PUT-YOUR-POD-NAME-HERE
kubectl get rolebindings,clusterrolebindings \
--all-namespaces \
-o custom-columns='KIND:kind,NAMESPACE:metadata.namespace,NAME:metadata.name,SERVICE_ACCOUNTS:subjects[?(@.kind=="ServiceAccount")].name'
kubectl -n cxc get pod -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,MLIMIT:.spec.containers[].resources.limits.memory
kubectl -n myns get pods -o json | jq .items[].spec.containers.resources.limits.cpu
