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.
