kubel

Emacs extension for controlling Kubernetes with limited permissions.

Features

This is mostly pod management for now. More may come.

switch context and namespace
show pods
get pod details
tail container logs (possibly with -f follow flag)
copy pod name to clipboard
copy container log command to clipboard
port forward a pod to your localhost

Installation

Get it from Melpa, or copy and load the kubel.el file.

Usage

To list the pods in your current context and namespace, call

M-x kubel

To set said namespace and context, respectively call

M-x kubel-set-namespace
M-x kubel-set-context

Note that namespace will autocomplete but not context, this is because I interact with kubernetes through a user who does not have permissions to list namespaces.

Shortcuts

On the kubel screen, place your cursor on the pod

enter => get pod details
h => help popup
C => set context
n => set namespace
g => refresh pods
p => port forward pod
e => exec into pod
d => describe popup
l => log popup
c => copy popup
k => delete pod
j => jab deployment to force rolling update

Customize

By default, kubel log tails from the last 100 lintes, you can change the kubel-log-tail-n variable to set another line number.
