Chapter 3. Accessing the MicroShift node with oc

Procedure

1. Optional: to create a ~/.kube/ folder if your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) machine does not have one, run the following command:

   $ mkdir -p ~/.kube/

2. Copy the generated local access kubeconfig file to the ~/.kube/ directory by running the following command:

   $ sudo cat /var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig > ~/.kube/config

3. Update the permissions on your ~/.kube/config file by running the following command:

   $ chmod go-r ~/.kube/config

Procedure

1. As user@workstation, create a ~/.kube/ folder if your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) machine does not have one by running the following command:

   [user@workstation]$ mkdir -p ~/.kube/

2. As user@workstation, set a variable for the hostname of your MicroShift host by running the following command:

   [user@workstation]$ MICROSHIFT_MACHINE=<name or IP address of MicroShift machine>

3. As user@workstation, copy the generated kubeconfig file that contains the hostname or IP address you want to connect to from the RHEL machine running MicroShift to your local machine by running the following command:

   [user@workstation]$ ssh <user>@$MICROSHIFT_MACHINE "sudo cat /var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/$MICROSHIFT_MACHINE/kubeconfig" > ~/.kube/config

   Replace <user> with your SSH login credentials.

4. As user@workstation, update the permissions on your ~/.kube/config file by running the following command:

   $ chmod go-r ~/.kube/config
