View and select context similar to kubectl config get-contexts / use-context about kubebox HOT 9 OPEN

If contents for this window is provided from kube/config then rewriting it to show list with names and urls to cluster along with +/- buttons which would then literally add or remove configs to/from kube/config would be enough I suppose.

I wish my skill in node was higher so I could help here...

Hi thanks for the feedback.

We've have somehow divided the context management in two separate dialog:

• Pressing the l key to browse and change contexts
• Pressing the n key to switch between namespace

Let us know if the dialog open with the l key meets your need. Otherwise, it may be useful to have a dialog closer the what kubectl config get-contexts outputs.

from kubebox.

Nope. When I press "l" (lowercase L) i get a dialog which shows login instead of list of contexts.
I use AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) and config is put there by "az aks get-credentials -n AKS_NAME -g AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP" so I don't operate usually on tokens etc...

I mean:
kubectl config get-contexts -o name
Can output of above command be put in a box like switching between namespaces is organized?
Or if not possible to call different command then above command just read ~/.kube/config which is written in yaml format and just extract:

• contexts.context.name and if possible also contexts.context.namespace
• current-context

from kubebox.

Actually, from the login dialog (open by pressing the l key), you can browse and switch context using the left and right arrow keys. I plan to make that more obvious from the UI, and provide more fields for the contexts in addition to username / password / token.

I'm not familiar with AKS, but if it uses the az aks get-credentials command as exec field from the user Kube config to retrieve the token, this is something that has yet to be supported by Kubebox as in #32.

from kubebox.

No. az aks get-credentials will connect to azure and download from it credentials which are needed to connect to cluster. It will also append them to kube/config automatically.
So what is only required is just to read the kube/config file and use credentials stored there.

Then, you should be able to find the corresponding context in the login widget with the left and right arrow keys.

from kubebox.

Ok. They're there. Thx.
But even then if possible, selecting connection from list like namespaces are shown is much more convenient.

from kubebox.

Yes, I agree it's not very convenient, especially as the number of contexts increases. We need to improve the UI for browsing / switching contexts. Thanks for the feedback.

from kubebox.

Yes, the content of the login widget is sourced from the kubeconfig file. It's just a matter of improving the UI.
