Hi thanks for the feedback.
We've have somehow divided the context management in two separate dialog:
l
key to browse and change contextsn
key to switch between namespaceLet us know if the dialog open with the l
key meets your need. Otherwise, it may be useful to have a dialog closer the what kubectl config get-contexts
outputs.
Nope. When I press "l" (lowercase L) i get a dialog which shows login instead of list of contexts. I use AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) and config is put there by "az aks get-credentials -n AKS_NAME -g AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP" so I don't operate usually on tokens etc...
I mean:
kubectl config get-contexts -o name
Can output of above command be put in a box like switching between namespaces is organized?
Or if not possible to call different command then above command just read ~/.kube/config which is written in yaml format and just extract:
Actually, from the login dialog (open by pressing the l
key), you can browse and switch context using the left and right arrow keys. I plan to make that more obvious from the UI, and provide more fields for the contexts in addition to username / password / token.
I'm not familiar with AKS, but if it uses the az aks get-credentials
command as exec
field from the user Kube config to retrieve the token, this is something that has yet to be supported by Kubebox as in #32.
No. az aks get-credentials will connect to azure and download from it credentials which are needed to connect to cluster. It will also append them to kube/config automatically. So what is only required is just to read the kube/config file and use credentials stored there.
Then, you should be able to find the corresponding context in the login widget with the left and right arrow keys.
Ok. They're there. Thx. But even then if possible, selecting connection from list like namespaces are shown is much more convenient.
Yes, I agree it's not very convenient, especially as the number of contexts increases. We need to improve the UI for browsing / switching contexts. Thanks for the feedback.
If contents for this window is provided from kube/config then rewriting it to show list with names and urls to cluster along with +/- buttons which would then literally add or remove configs to/from kube/config would be enough I suppose.
I wish my skill in node was higher so I could help here...
Yes, the content of the login widget is sourced from the kubeconfig file. It's just a matter of improving the UI.
Hello
Great tool. The only thing I miss is to be able to switch contexts in a way similar to how namespaces are selected. In README.md it is mentioned that there is interactive switching of contexts but I haven't found out how to do this.
It's just that I'm tired of constantly entering "kubectl config use-context" when I have to switch between clusters. I planned to write myself a script written in "dialog" to present a list of contexts and select one of them but then I found out your tool. It's great but I still miss this function in it.
If possible please add it.
Kind regards Tom
