     Neatkube

The last kubernetes tool you'll ever need.

Kubernetes is a mess. Everthing ships it's own command line tools that you need to install and track for updates. Everybody has their own set of scripts to start a debug pod and a set of random tools to easy their lives.

Neatkube has two main objectives:

1. Give unified access to all most frequently used kubernetes tools and keep them up to date
2. Streamline common usage and debug patterns and mold them into a command line tools

In the end the goal is: If the Neatkube binary is installed on your system and have access to a kubernetes cluster you can do something useful.

Features

Neatkube features lots of different subcommands.

🐚 Shell-in-a-pod

It's a common task to start a debug pod on kubernetes. Neatkube eases the start and the configuration of such a debug pod.

Example simple shell

nk shell -n default

Access a certain Node in a cluster

nk shell -pNIP --node "MYNODE" chroot /host /bin/sh

🧳 pack the configuration

Neatkube provides a small tool that reads a kubeconfig file and includes all external resources. This is useful for minikube for example, that by default puts its certificates on a different place on the file system.

Example cfgpack

nk cfgpack /path/to/kubeconfig
