kubectl plugin cannot be installed on Apple Silicon (darwin/arm64)

[iben12]

NGINX Ingress controller version (exec into the pod and run nginx-ingress-controller --version.): n/a

Kubernetes version (use kubectl version): Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"22", GitVersion:"v1.22.4", GitCommit:"b695d79d4f967c403a96986f1750a35eb75e75f1", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2021-11-17T15:48:33Z", GoVersion:"go1.16.10", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/arm64"}

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: n/a
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): MacOS 12.1 (21C52)
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a): Darwin *** 21.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 21.2.0: Sun Nov 28 20:29:10 PST 2021; root:xnu-8019.61.5~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64

What happened:

I tried to install the kubectl plugin for ingress-nginx as described in the docs:

kubectl krew install ingress-nginx
Updated the local copy of plugin index.
Installing plugin: ingress-nginx
W0126 13:21:27.097874   59776 install.go:164] failed to install plugin "ingress-nginx": plugin "ingress-nginx" does not offer installation for this platform
F0126 13:21:27.098127   59776 root.go:79] failed to install some plugins: [ingress-nginx]: plugin "ingress-nginx" does not offer installation for this platform

My krew seems to be intalled correctly:

kubectl krew version 
OPTION            VALUE
GitTag            v0.4.2
GitCommit         6fcdb79
IndexURI          https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew-index.git
BasePath          /Users/me/.krew
IndexPath         /Users/me/.krew/index/default
InstallPath       /Users/me/.krew/store
BinPath           /Users/me/.krew/bin
DetectedPlatform  darwin/arm64

What you expected to happen:

Plugin is installed

How to reproduce it: See above

Anything else we need to know: As I see in the krew plugin manifest here this should work, the plugin has darwin/arm64 build.

I can install other plugins.

Thanks! kubectl plugin has not been updated for a long time. I will deal with it ASAP.

We can using #7627 for tracking.

Workaround for lonely souls:

git clone git@github.com:kubernetes/ingress-nginx.git && cd ingress-nginx

make build-plugin && cd cmd/plugin/release/
nano ingress-nginx.yaml # Need to remove on `v` for version number line `9`, issue #8217 
tar xf kubectl-ingress_nginx-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
kubectl krew install --manifest=ingress-nginx.yaml --archive=kubectl-ingress_nginx-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

For those of us on macbooks and podman, I've modified the Makefile target for run-in-docker to skip the options that work on my machine. Make sure you let podman know that your home directory is available for mounts.

# assumes default machine name...
podman machine init --cpus=4 --memory=4096 -v $HOME:$HOME

I noticed that the "vv" bug was fixed, so that's no longer an issue. Thankfully, I didn't have to add sed anywhere to my script otherwise it might have been too much to bother with.

Workaround for lonely souls:

git clone git@github.com:kubernetes/ingress-nginx.git && cd ingress-nginx

make build-plugin && cd cmd/plugin/release/
nano ingress-nginx.yaml # Need to remove on `v` for version number line `9`, issue #8217 
tar xf kubectl-ingress_nginx-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
kubectl krew install --manifest=ingress-nginx.yaml --archive=kubectl-ingress_nginx-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

thanks. before running make, i needed to set GOBUILD_FLAGS in build/build-plugin.sh before go build was being run

[Starefossen]

The solution to @twixthehero is no longer working. No build target for plugin any more.

[gsimko]

@Starefossen Syncing back to c85765a015ea6709d161eccd42ef6134981c04b4 (just before 2022 Aug 11th) helps with that, though I'm not sure what critical updates we are missing by doing that.

[evenh]

Might be blocked by #8812

[timown]

it's still an issue, right? getting

failed to install some plugins: [ingress-nginx]: plugin "ingress-nginx" does not offer installation for this platform

[ContainerCat]

Also still an issue for me on darwin/arm64

[LittleHoopoe]

can we get a darwin/arm64 version? :) Would be so beautiful

[joeloplot]

Still a problem in August 2023 Why is this closed? Please reopen.

[absolutejam]

As a workaround, you can manually build it yourself without much ceremony:

cd cmd/plugin && go build -o /usr/local/bin/kubectl-ingress_nginx

The command in this comment also worked for me: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/10315#issuecomment-1678576923
