=================
Multiple Clusters
=================
Multiple clusters are supported by either passing a static list of API server URLs, using an existing kubeconfig file or pointing to a Cluster Registry HTTP endpoint.
Static List of API Server URLs
==============================
Set the ``CLUSTERS`` environment variable to a comma separated list of Kubernetes API server URLs.
These can either be unprotected ``localhost`` URLs or OAuth 2 protected API endpoints.
The needed OAuth credentials (``Bearer`` access token) must be provided via a file ``${CREDENTIALS_DIR}/read-only-token-secret``.
Kubeconfig File
===============
The `kubeconfig file`_ allows defining multiple cluster contexts with potential different authentication mechanisms.
Kubernetes Operational View will try to reach all defined contexts when given the ``--kubeconfig-path`` command line option (or ``KUBECONFIG_PATH`` environment variable).
Example:
Assuming ``~/.kube/config`` as the following contents with two defined contexts:
.. code-block:: yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
clusters:
- cluster: {server: 'https://kube.foo.example.org'}
name: kube_foo_example_org
- cluster: {server: 'https://kube.bar.example.org'}
name: kube_bar_example_org
contexts:
- context: {cluster: kube_foo_example_org, user: kube_foo_example_org}
name: foo
- context: {cluster: kube_bar_example_org, user: kube_bar_example_org}
name: bar
current-context: kube_foo_example_org
users:
- name: kube_foo_example_org
user: {token: myfootoken123}
- name: kube_bar_example_org
user: {token: mybartoken456}
Kubernetes Operational View would try to reach both endpoints with the respective token for authentication:
.. code-block:: bash
$ # note that we need to mount the local ~/.kube/config file into the Docker container
$ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.kube/config:/kubeconfig hjacobs/kube-ops-view --kubeconfig-path=/kubeconfig
You can select which clusters should be queried by specifying a list of kubeconfig contexts with the ``--kubeconfig-contexts`` option:
.. code-block:: bash
$ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.kube/config:/kubeconfig hjacobs/kube-ops-view --kubeconfig-path=/kubeconfig --kubeconfig-contexts=bar
This would only query the Kubernetes cluster defined by the ``bar`` context.
Cluster Registry
================
Clusters can be dynamically discovered by providing one HTTP endpoint as the cluster registry.
Set either the ``CLUSTER_REGISTRY_URL`` environment variable or the ``--cluster-registry-url`` option to an URL conforming to:
.. code-block:: bash
$ curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer mytoken' $CLUSTER_REGISTRY_URL/kubernetes-clusters
{
"items": [
{
"id": "my-cluster-id",
"api_server_url": "https://my-cluster.example.org"
}
]
}
The cluster registry will be queried with an OAuth Bearer token, the token can be statically set via the ``OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKENS`` environment variable.
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ token=mysecrettoken
$ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -e OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKENS=read-only=$token hjacobs/kube-ops-view --cluster-registry-url=https://cluster-registry.example.org
Otherwise the needed OAuth credentials (``Bearer`` access token) must be provided via a file ``${CREDENTIALS_DIR}/read-only-token-secret``.
