K9s - Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

K9s provides a terminal UI to interact with your Kubernetes clusters. The aim of this project is to make it easier to navigate, observe and manage your applications in the wild. K9s continually watches Kubernetes for changes and offers subsequent commands to interact with your observed resources.

Note...

As you may know k9s is not pimped out by a big corporation with deep pockets. It is a complex OSS project that demands a lot of my time to maintain and support. K9s will always remain OSS and therefore free! That said if you feel, k9s makes your day to day Kubernetes journey a tad brighter, please consider sponsoring us or purchase a K9sAlpha license. Your donations will go a long way in keeping our servers lights on and beers in our fridge!

Thank you!

Building From Source

K9s is currently using go v1.14 or above. In order to build K9s from source you must:

Clone the repo
Build and run the executable
```
make build && ./execs/k9s
```

Running with Docker

Running the official Docker image

You can run k9s as a Docker container by mounting your KUBECONFIG:

docker run --rm -it -v $KUBECONFIG:/root/.kube/config quay.io/derailed/k9s

For default path it would be:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config quay.io/derailed/k9s

Building your own Docker image

You can build your own Docker image of k9s from the Dockerfile with the following:

docker build -t k9s-docker:0.1 .

You can get the latest stable kubectl version and pass it to the docker build command with the --build-arg option. You can use the --build-arg option to pass any valid kubectl version (like v1.18.0 or v1.19.1).

KUBECTL_VERSION=$(make kubectl-stable-version 2>/dev/null)
docker build --build-arg KUBECTL_VERSION=${KUBECTL_VERSION} -t k9s-docker:0.1 .

Run your container:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config k9s-docker:0.1

PreFlight Checks

K9s uses 256 colors terminal mode. On `Nix system make sure TERM is set accordingly.
```
export TERM=xterm-256color
```

In order to issue manifest edit commands make sure your EDITOR env is set.

# Kubectl edit command will use this env var.
export EDITOR=my_fav_editor
# Should your editor deals with streamed vs on disk files differently, also set...
export K9S_EDITOR=my_fav_editor

K9s prefers recent kubernetes versions ie 1.16+

The Command Line

# List all available CLI options
k9s help
# To get info about K9s runtime (logs, configs, etc..)
k9s info
# To run K9s in a given namespace
k9s -n mycoolns
# Start K9s in an existing KubeConfig context
k9s --context coolCtx
# Start K9s in readonly mode - with all cluster modification commands disabled

K9s Configuration

K9s keeps its configurations inside of a k9s directory and the location depends on your operating system. K9s leverages XDG to load its various configurations files. For information on the default locations for your OS please see this link. If you are still confused a quick k9s info will reveal where k9s is loading its configurations from. Alternatively, you can set K9SCONFIG to tell K9s the directory location to pull its configurations from.

Unix	macOS	Windows
`~/.config/k9s`	`~/Library/Application Support/k9s`	`%LOCALAPPDATA%\k9s`

NOTE: This is still in flux and will change while in pre-release stage!

Popeye Configuration

K9s has integration with Popeye, which is a Kubernetes cluster sanitizer. Popeye itself uses a configuration called spinach.yml, but when integrating with K9s the cluster-specific file should be name $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/<context>_spinach.yml. This allows you to have a different spinach config per cluster.

Node Shell

By enabling the nodeShell feature gate on a given cluster, K9s allows you to shell into your cluster nodes. Once enabled, you will have a new s for shell menu option while in node view. K9s will launch a pod on the selected node using a special k9s_shell pod. Furthermore, you can refine your shell pod by using a custom docker image preloaded with the shell tools you love. By default k9s uses a BusyBox image, but you can configure it as follows:

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/config.yml
k9s:
  clusters:
    # Configures node shell on cluster blee
    blee:
      featureGates:
        # You must enable the nodeShell feature gate to enable shelling into nodes
        nodeShell: true
      # You can also further tune the shell pod specification
      shellPod:
        image: cool_kid_admin:42
        namespace: blee
        limits:
          cpu: 100m
          memory: 100Mi

Command Aliases

In K9s, you can define your very own command aliases (shortnames) to access your resources. In your $HOME/.config/k9s define a file called alias.yml. A K9s alias defines pairs of alias:gvr. A gvr (Group/Version/Resource) represents a fully qualified Kubernetes resource identifier. Here is an example of an alias file:

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/alias.yml
alias:
  pp: v1/pods
  crb: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1/clusterrolebindings

Using this alias file, you can now type pp/crb to list pods or ClusterRoleBindings respectively.

HotKey Support

Entering the command mode and typing a resource name or alias, could be cumbersome for navigating thru often used resources. We're introducing hotkeys that allows a user to define their own hotkeys to activate their favorite resource views. In order to enable hotkeys please follow these steps:

Create a file named $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/hotkey.yml

Add the following to your hotkey.yml. You can use resource name/short name to specify a command ie same as typing it while in command mode.

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/hotkey.yml
hotKey:
  # Hitting Shift-0 navigates to your pod view
  shift-0:
    shortCut:    Shift-0
    description: Viewing pods
    command:     pods
  # Hitting Shift-1 navigates to your deployments
  shift-1:
    shortCut:    Shift-1
    description: View deployments
    command:     dp
  # Hitting Shift-2 navigates to your xray deployments
  shift-2:
    shortCut:    Shift-2
    description: Xray Deployments
    command:     xray deploy

Not feeling so hot? Your custom hotkeys will be listed in the help view ?. Also your hotkey file will be automatically reloaded so you can readily use your hotkeys as you define them.

You can choose any keyboard shortcuts that make sense to you, provided they are not part of the standard K9s shortcuts list.

NOTE: This feature/configuration might change in future releases!

FastForwards

As of v0.25.0, you can leverage the FastForwards feature to tell K9s how to default port-forwards. In situations where you are dealing with multiple containers or containers exposing multiple ports, it can be cumbersome to specify the desired port-forward from the dialog as in most cases, you already know which container/port tuple you desire. For these use cases, you can now annotate your manifests with the following annotations:

k9scli.io/auto-portforwards -> activates one or more port-forwards directly bypassing the port-forward dialog all together.
k9scli.io/portforwards -> pre-selects one or more port-forwards when launching the port-forward dialog.

The annotation value takes on the shape container-name::[local-port:]container-port

NOTE: for either cases above you can specify the container port by name or number in your annotation!

Example

# Pod fred
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: fred
  annotations:
    k9scli.io/auto-portforwards: zorg::5556        # => will default to container zorg port 5556 and local port 5566. No port-forward dialog will be shown.
    # Or...
    k9scli.io/portforward: bozo::9090:p1           # => launches the port-forward dialog selecting default port-forward on container bozo port named p1(8081)
                                                   # mapping to local port 9090.
    ...
spec:
  containers:
  - name: zorg
    ports:
    - name: p1
      containerPort: 5556
    ...
  - name: bozo
    ports:
    - name: p1
      containerPort: 8081
    - name: p2
      containerPort: 5555
    ...

The annotation value must specify a container to forward to as well as a local port and container port. The container port may be specified as either a port number or port name. If the local port is omitted then the local port will default to the container port number. Here are a few examples:

bozo::http - creates a pf on container bozo with port name http. If http specifies port number 8080 then the local port will be 8080 as well.
bozo::9090:http - creates a pf on container bozo mapping local port 9090->http(8080)
bozo::9090:8080 - creates a pf on container bozo mapping local port 9090->8080

Resource Custom Columns

SneakCast v0.17.0 on The Beach! - Yup! sound is sucking but what a setting!

You can change which columns shows up for a given resource via custom views. To surface this feature, you will need to create a new configuration file, namely $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/views.yml. This file leverages GVR (Group/Version/Resource) to configure the associated table view columns. If no GVR is found for a view the default rendering will take over (ie what we have now). Going wide will add all the remaining columns that are available on the given resource after your custom columns. To boot, you can edit your views config file and tune your resources views live!

NOTE: This is experimental and will most likely change as we iron this out!

Here is a sample views configuration that customize a pods and services views.

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/views.yml
k9s:
  views:
    v1/pods:
      columns:
        - AGE
        - NAMESPACE
        - NAME
        - IP
        - NODE
        - STATUS
        - READY
    v1/services:
      columns:
        - AGE
        - NAMESPACE
        - NAME
        - TYPE
        - CLUSTER-IP

Plugins

K9s allows you to extend your command line and tooling by defining your very own cluster commands via plugins. K9s will look at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/plugin.yml to locate all available plugins. A plugin is defined as follows:

Shortcut option represents the key combination a user would type to activate the plugin
Confirm option (when enabled) lets you see the command that is going to be executed and gives you an option to confirm or prevent execution
Description will be printed next to the shortcut in the k9s menu
Scopes defines a collection of resources names/short-names for the views associated with the plugin. You can specify all to provide this shortcut for all views.
Command represents ad-hoc commands the plugin runs upon activation
Background specifies whether or not the command runs in the background
Args specifies the various arguments that should apply to the command above

K9s does provide additional environment variables for you to customize your plugins arguments. Currently, the available environment variables are as follows:

$RESOURCE_GROUP -- the selected resource group
$RESOURCE_VERSION -- the selected resource api version
$RESOURCE_NAME -- the selected resource name
$NAMESPACE -- the selected resource namespace
$NAME -- the selected resource name
$CONTAINER -- the current container if applicable
$FILTER -- the current filter if any
$KUBECONFIG -- the KubeConfig location.
$CLUSTER the active cluster name
$CONTEXT the active context name
$USER the active user
$GROUPS the active groups
$POD while in a container view
$COL-<RESOURCE_COLUMN_NAME> use a given column name for a viewed resource. Must be prefixed by COL-!

Example

This defines a plugin for viewing logs on a selected pod using ctrl-l for shortcut.

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/plugin.yml
plugin:
  # Defines a plugin to provide a `ctrl-l` shortcut to tail the logs while in pod view.
  fred:
    shortCut: Ctrl-L
    confirm: false
    description: Pod logs
    scopes:
    - pods
    command: kubectl
    background: false
    args:
    - logs
    - -f
    - $NAME
    - -n
    - $NAMESPACE
    - --context
    - $CONTEXT

NOTE: This is an experimental feature! Options and layout may change in future K9s releases as this feature solidifies.

Benchmark Your Applications

K9s integrates Hey from the brilliant and super talented Jaana Dogan. Hey is a CLI tool to benchmark HTTP endpoints similar to AB bench. This preliminary feature currently supports benchmarking port-forwards and services (Read the paint on this is way fresh!).

To setup a port-forward, you will need to navigate to the PodView, select a pod and a container that exposes a given port. Using SHIFT-F a dialog comes up to allow you to specify a local port to forward. Once acknowledged, you can navigate to the PortForward view (alias pf) listing out your active port-forwards. Selecting a port-forward and using CTRL-B will run a benchmark on that HTTP endpoint. To view the results of your benchmark runs, go to the Benchmarks view (alias be). You should now be able to select a benchmark and view the run stats details by pressing <ENTER>. NOTE: Port-forwards only last for the duration of the K9s session and will be terminated upon exit.

Initially, the benchmarks will run with the following defaults:

Concurrency Level: 1
Number of Requests: 200
HTTP Verb: GET
Path: /

The PortForward view is backed by a new K9s config file namely: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/bench-<k8s_context>.yml (note: extension is yml and not yaml). Each cluster you connect to will have its own bench config file, containing the name of the K8s context for the cluster. Changes to this file should automatically update the PortForward view to indicate how you want to run your benchmarks.

Here is a sample benchmarks.yml configuration. Please keep in mind this file will likely change in subsequent releases!

# This file resides in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/bench-mycontext.yml
benchmarks:
  # Indicates the default concurrency and number of requests setting if a container or service rule does not match.
  defaults:
    # One concurrent connection
    concurrency: 1
    # Number of requests that will be sent to an endpoint
    requests: 500
  containers:
    # Containers section allows you to configure your http container's endpoints and benchmarking settings.
    # NOTE: the container ID syntax uses namespace/pod-name:container-name
    default/nginx:nginx:
      # Benchmark a container named nginx using POST HTTP verb using http://localhost:port/bozo URL and headers.
      concurrency: 1
      requests: 10000
      http:
        path: /bozo
        method: POST
        body:
          {"fred":"blee"}
        header:
          Accept:
            - text/html
          Content-Type:
            - application/json
  services:
    # Similarly you can Benchmark an HTTP service exposed either via NodePort, LoadBalancer types.
    # Service ID is ns/svc-name
    default/nginx:
      # Set the concurrency level
      concurrency: 5
      # Number of requests to be sent
      requests: 500
      http:
        method: GET
        # This setting will depend on whether service is NodePort or LoadBalancer. NodePort may require vendor port tunneling setting.
        # Set this to a node if NodePort or LB if applicable. IP or dns name.
        host: A.B.C.D
        path: /bumblebeetuna
      auth:
        user: jean-baptiste-emmanuel
        password: Zorg!

K9s RBAC FU

On RBAC enabled clusters, you would need to give your users/groups capabilities so that they can use K9s to explore their Kubernetes cluster. K9s needs minimally read privileges at both the cluster and namespace level to display resources and metrics.

These rules below are just suggestions. You will need to customize them based on your environment policies. If you need to edit/delete resources extra Fu will be necessary.

NOTE! Cluster/Namespace access may change in the future as K9s evolves. NOTE! We expect K9s to keep running even in atrophied clusters/namespaces. Please file issues if this is not the case!

Skins

Example: Dracula Skin ;)

You can style K9s based on your own sense of look and style. Skins are YAML files, that enable a user to change the K9s presentation layer. K9s skins are loaded from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/skin.yml. If a skin file is detected then the skin would be loaded if not the current stock skin remains in effect.

You can also change K9s skins based on the cluster you are connecting too. In this case, you can specify the skin file name as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/k9s/mycontext_skin.yml Below is a sample skin file, more skins are available in the skins directory in this repo, just simply copy any of these in your user's home dir as skin.yml.

Colors can be defined by name or using a hex representation. Of recent, we've added a color named default to indicate a transparent background color to preserve your terminal background color settings if so desired.

NOTE: This is very much an experimental feature at this time, more will be added/modified if this feature has legs so thread accordingly!

NOTE: Please see K9s Skins for a list of available colors.

K9s will most likely blow up if...

You're running older versions of Kubernetes. K9s works best on Kubernetes latest.
You don't have enough RBAC fu to manage your cluster.
