Config namespace

[rubenlabs]

I am trying to configure kubeinvaders using helm but it does not detect the indicated namespace.config:

target_namespace where kubeinvaders should be allowed to kill pods

target_namespace: "demo"
alienProximity: 10
hitsLimit: 1
updateTime: 0.5

Hi @rubenlabs

can you please post the full comand you have launched?

Thanks

I have followed the instructions to install using helm.

helm repo add kubeinvaders https://lucky-sideburn.github.io/helm-charts/
helm repo update

kubectl create namespace kubeinvaders

helm install kubeinvaders --set-string config.target_namespace="demo" -n kubeinvaders kubeinvaders/kubeinvaders --set ingress.enabled=true --set ingress.hostName=kubeinvaders.io --set deployment.image.tag=v1. 9.6

In this case I have a namespace called "demo" where I have test pods deployed.

I have also tried to deploy applying the helm generating values:

config:
target_namespace: "demo"

Thank you very much for the quick response and your support!

Hi @rubenlabs

Thank you for you message. I tried with my installation describing the deployment and I see "NAMESPACE: namespace1,namespace2"

[root@k8s1 ~]# kubectl describe deployment kubeinvaders -n kubeinvaders

I have some question for you.

• Can you please attach logs? kubctl logs kubeinvaders-*** -n kubeinvaders
• Send to me your kubectl describe deployment kubeinvaders -n kubeinvaders
• Try the Docker or Podman way following this part of the readme.md
• Do you access to the GUI? What do you see?

Thanks,
Eugenio

Dear @rubenlabs

For me it works. I tried on K3S...

helm install kubeinvaders --set-string config.target_namespace="demo" -n kubeinvaders kubeinvaders/kubeinvaders --set ingress.enabled=true --set ingress.hostName=kubeinvaders.io --set deployment.image.tag=v1.9.6

[rubenlabs]

Hello, thanks again for the response.
In this case I am trying to deploy the solution on EKS but I have been seeing different posts and in some I have seen that Kubeinvaders does not support EKS, is this true?
In that case, I will try deploying on minikube to see how it works.

[lucky-sideburn]

Hi @rubenlabs

Yes EKS is not supported :D

I need to do test on it...

Regards,
Eugenio

Hi @lucky-sideburn,

Perfect then! I'll see if I can do some testing in a different environment :)
In the case of EKS I have been able to deploy without problems and the application opens correctly but does not show the namespace that is selected (in case it helps you when you review it).
Thank you very much for your answers and congratulations, it seems interesting and fun!
