In this lab, you will learn about several Kubernetes and Flux commands that may prove useful when operating and troubleshooting Flux in other labs in the _Hands-On GitOps_ course.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Analyze the YAML Used to Install Flux
To output the YAML that is applied by kubectl, simply use the same command, and either display it or route it to a file instead of piping it to kubectl.
$ fluxctl install --git-user=${GHUSER} --git-email=${GHUSER}@users.noreply.github.com --git-url=git@github.com:${GHUSER}/content-gitops --git-path=namespaces,production --namespace=fluxThis output has also been placed in a file that can be accessed within the docs folder on the course repo.
- Display the Log Produced by the fluxd Daemon
To display the log produced by the
fluxddaemon running as a Deployment in your cluster, enter the command:$ kubectl -n flux logs deployment/fluxThis assumes you have deployed
fluxto thefluxnamespace.- Display Details about the flux Pod Running
To display details about the Pod deployed in your cluster, first obtain the unique Pod name with the following command:
$ kubectl -n flux get podsThen, copy the unique Pod name to your clipboard and input:
$ kubectl -n flux describe pod [your flux pod name here]Example command with sample Pod name:
kubectl -n flux describe pod flux-c97899756-wsfhb
