A helm plugin that uses impersonating to execute helm-commands on clusters within the admin context.
For questions or suggestions you are welcome to join us at our myCloudogu community forum.
Installation
Install the plugin using the built-in plugin manager (see releases for latest version):
# Installs latest commit
helm plugin install https://github.com/cloudogu/helm-sudo
# Installs deterministic version
helm plugin install https://github.com/cloudogu/helm-sudo --version=0.0.2
Usage
Its usage is pretty simple, just use "sudo" on your helm commands like so:
helm sudo list
what the plugin does is, it adds the --kube-as-user and --kube-as-group flags with your user ($USER) and system:masters group to the given helm command.
So the plugin executes the following:
helm --kube-as-user $USER --kube-as-group system:masters list
Flags will just be passed along to the command you are calling.
CAUTION: Due to the usage of this plugin, you will execute the helm command as admin on your cluster!
Syntax completion works with helm version 3.8.0 and up.
Configuration
| ENV_VAR | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
