==============================================
|
|
Use Container-backed Remote |CLIs| and Clients
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
Remote platform |CLIs| can be used in any shell after sourcing the generated
|
|
remote CLI/client RC file. This RC file sets up the required environment
|
|
variables and aliases for the remote |CLI| commands.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |prereq|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Consider adding this command to your .login or shell rc file, such that
|
|
your shells will automatically be initialized with the environment
|
|
variables and aliases for the remote CLI commands.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, execute the following before proceeding:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# source remote_client_platform.sh
|
|
|
|
If you specified repositories that require authentication when configuring
|
|
the container-backed remote |CLIs|, you must perform a :command:`docker
|
|
login` to that repository before using remote |CLIs| for the first time
|
|
|
|
You must have completed the configuration steps described in :ref:`Configuring
|
|
Container-backed Remote CLIs and Clients
|
|
<kubernetes-user-tutorials-configuring-container-backed-remote-clis-and-clients>`
|
|
before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |proc|
|
|
|
|
- For Kubernetes :command:`kubectl` |CLI| commands:
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The first usage of a remote |CLI| command will be slow as it requires
|
|
that the docker image supporting the remote CLIs/clients be pulled from
|
|
the remote registry.

root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd#
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Some |CLI| commands are designed to leave you in a shell prompt, for
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# openstack
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# kubectl exec -ti <pod_name> -- /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
In most cases, the remote CLI will detect and handle these commands
|
|
correctly. If you encounter cases that are not handled correctly, you
|
|
can force-enable or disable the shell options using the <FORCE\_SHELL>
|
|
or <FORCE\_NO\_SHELL> variables before the command.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# FORCE_SHELL=true kubectl exec -ti <pod_name> -- /bin/bash
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# FORCE_NO_SHELL=true kubectl exec <pod_name> -- ls
|
|
|
|
You cannot use both variables at the same time.
|
|
|
|
- If you need to run a remote |CLI| command that references a local file,
|
|
then that file must be copied to or created in the working directory specified
|
|
in the -w option on the ./config\_client.sh command.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user# cp /<someDir>/test.yml $HOME/remote_cli_wd/test.yml
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user# cd $HOME/remote_cli_wd
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# kubectl -n kube-system create -f test.yml
|
|
pod/test-pod created
|
|
root@myclient:/home/user/remote_cli_wd# kubectl -n kube-system delete -f test.yml
|
|
pod/test-pod deleted
|
|
|
|
- Do the following to use helm.
|
|
|
|
.. xreflink
|
|
.. note::
|
|
For non-admin users, additional configuration is required first as
|
|
discussed in |sec-doc|: :ref:`Configuring Remote Helm Client for
|
|
Non-Admin Users <configuring-remote-helm-client-for-non-admin-users>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
When using helm, any command that requires access to a helm repository
|
|
\(managed locally\) will require that you be in the
|
|
$HOME/remote\_cli\_wd directory and use the --home ./.helm option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Do the initial setup of the helm client.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This command assumes you are using Helm v2.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
% cd $HOME/remote_cli_wd
|
|
% helm init --client-only --home "./.helm"
|
|
|
|
#. Run a helm command.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
% cd $HOME/remote_cli_wd
|
|
% helm list
|
|
% helm install --name wordpress stable/wordpress --home "./.helm"
