Install Kubectl and Helm Clients Directly on a Host
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
You can use :command:`kubectl` and :command:`helm` to interact with a
|
|
controller from a remote system.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |context|
|
|
|
|
Commands such as those that reference local files or commands that require
|
|
a shell are more easily used from clients running directly on a remote
|
|
workstation.
|
|
|
|
Complete the following steps to install :command:`kubectl` and
|
|
:command:`helm` on a remote system.
|
|
|
|
The following procedure shows how to configure the kubectl and helm clients
|
|
directly on remote host, for an admin user with **cluster-admin** cluster role.
|
|
If using a non-admin user such as one with only role privileges within a
|
|
private namespace, the procedure is the same, however, additional
|
|
configuration is required in order to use :command:`helm`.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |prereq|
|
|
|
|
You must configure the **oidc-auth-apps** |OIDC| Identity Provider (dex)
|
|
on the target |prod| environment to get Kubernetes authentication tokens. See
|
|
:ref:`Set up OIDC Auth Applications <configure-oidc-auth-applications>` for more
|
|
information.
