Kubernetes platform lifecycle management

Flags:
  --help                  Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
  --version               Show application version.
  --config="config.yaml"  Provide the path to the config file. Default is config.yaml which is in the same folder as lcm
  --local                 Run locally, default expected behavior is to run in the Kubernetes cluster
  --verbose               Show more information. This overrides the config setting
  --debug                 Show debug information, debug includes verbose. This overrides the config setting
  --jsonLogging           Log in json format
  --logFile=LOGFILE       Log file path
  --server                Start the server
  --metrics               Start the metric server (runs on port 9572)
  --vul                   Print all vulnerabilities at the end

Note: If you are using --server option please make sure the templates and static folder are next to the binary so it can serve the page.

Docker

Docker image is available at arminc/lcm:VERSION or arminc/lcm:latest. It is packaged with the template and css. Run it as following, and add any necessary flags you want or use the yaml file.
