1.1.3. Logging in to the CLI
You can log in to the oc
CLI to access and manage your cluster.
Prerequisites
- You must have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
- You must have installed the CLI.
To access a cluster that is accessible only over an HTTP proxy server, you can set the HTTP_PROXY
, HTTPS_PROXY
and NO_PROXY
variables. These environment variables are respected by the oc
CLI so that all communication with the cluster goes through the HTTP proxy.
Procedure
Log in to the CLI using the
oc login
command and enter the required information when prompted.$ oc login
Example output
Server [https://localhost:8443]: https://openshift.example.com:6443 1 The server uses a certificate signed by an unknown authority. You can bypass the certificate check, but any data you send to the server could be intercepted by others. Use insecure connections? (y/n): y 2 Authentication required for https://openshift.example.com:6443 (openshift) Username: user1 3 Password: 4 Login successful. You don't have any projects. You can try to create a new project, by running oc new-project <projectname> Welcome! See 'oc help' to get started.

Example output
KIND: Pod VERSION: v1 DESCRIPTION: Pod is a collection of containers that can run on a host. This resource is created by clients and scheduled onto hosts. FIELDS: apiVersion <string> APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#resources ...
1.1.6. Logging out of the CLI
You can log out the CLI to end your current session.
Use the
oc logout
command.$ oc logout
Example output
Logged "user1" out on "https://openshift.example.com"
This deletes the saved authentication token from the server and removes it from your configuration file.
1.2. Configuring the CLI
1.2.1. Enabling tab completion
After you install the oc
CLI tool, you can enable tab completion to automatically complete oc
commands or suggest options when you press Tab.
Prerequisites
-
You must have the
oc
CLI tool installed. -
You must have the package
bash-completion
installed.
Procedure
The following procedure enables tab completion for Bash.
Save the Bash completion code to a file.
$ oc completion bash > oc_bash_completion
Copy the file to
/etc/bash_completion.d/
.$ sudo cp oc_bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.d/
You can also save the file to a local directory and source it from your
.bashrc
file instead.
Tab completion is enabled when you open a new terminal.
1.3. Extending the CLI with plug-ins
You can write and install plug-ins to build on the default oc
commands, allowing you to perform new and more complex tasks with the OpenShift Container Platform CLI.
1.3.1. Writing CLI plug-ins
You can write a plug-in for the OpenShift Container Platform CLI in any programming language or script that allows you to write command-line commands. Note that you can not use a plug-in to overwrite an existing oc
command.
OpenShift CLI plug-ins are currently a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
See the Red Hat Technology Preview features support scope for more information.
Procedure
This procedure creates a simple Bash plug-in that prints a message to the terminal when the oc foo
command is issued.
Create a file called
oc-foo
.When naming your plug-in file, keep the following in mind:
-
The file must begin with
oc-
orkubectl-
in order to be recognized as a plug-in. -
The file name determines the command that invokes the plug-in. For example, a plug-in with the file name
oc-foo-bar
can be invoked by a command ofoc foo bar
. You can also use underscores if you want the command to contain dashes. For example, a plug-in with the file nameoc-foo_bar
can be invoked by a command ofoc foo-bar
.
-
The file must begin with
Add the following contents to the file.
#!/bin/bash # optional argument handling if [[ "$1" == "version" ]] then echo "1.0.0" exit 0 fi # optional argument handling if [[ "$1" == "config" ]] then echo $KUBECONFIG exit 0 fi echo "I am a plugin named kubectl-foo"
After you install this plug-in for the OpenShift Container Platform CLI, it can be invoked using the oc foo
command.
Additional resources
- Review the Sample plug-in repository for an example of a plug-in written in Go.
- Review the CLI runtime repository for a set of utilities to assist in writing plug-ins in Go.
1.3.2. Installing and using CLI plug-ins
After you write a custom plug-in for the OpenShift Container Platform CLI, you must install it to use the functionality that it provides.
OpenShift CLI plug-ins are currently a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend to use them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
See the Red Hat Technology Preview features support scope for more information.
Prerequisites
-
You must have the
oc
CLI tool installed. -
You must have a CLI plug-in file that begins with
oc-
orkubectl-
.
Procedure
If necessary, update the plug-in file to be executable.
$ chmod +x <plugin_file>
Place the file anywhere in your
PATH
, such as/usr/local/bin/
.$ sudo mv <plugin_file> /usr/local/bin/.
Run
oc plugin list
to make sure that the plug-in is listed.$ oc plugin list
Example output
The following compatible plugins are available: /usr/local/bin/<plugin_file>
If your plug-in is not listed here, verify that the file begins with
oc-
orkubectl-
, is executable, and is on yourPATH
.Invoke the new command or option introduced by the plug-in.
For example, if you built and installed the
kubectl-ns
plug-in from the Sample plug-in repository, you can use the following command to view the current namespace.$ oc ns
Note that the command to invoke the plug-in depends on the plug-in file name. For example, a plug-in with the file name of
oc-foo-bar
is invoked by theoc foo bar
command.

1.6. Usage of oc and kubectl commands
Kubernetes' command line interface (CLI), kubectl
, can be used to run commands against a Kubernetes cluster. Because OpenShift Container Platform is a certified Kubernetes distribution, you can use the supported kubectl
binaries that ship with OpenShift Container Platform, or you can gain extended functionality by using the oc
binary.
1.6.1. The oc binary
The oc
binary offers the same capabilities as the kubectl
binary, but it extends to natively support additional OpenShift Container Platform features, including:
Full support for OpenShift Container Platform resources
Resources such as
DeploymentConfig
,BuildConfig
,Route
,ImageStream
, andImageStreamTag
objects are specific to OpenShift Container Platform distributions, and build upon standard Kubernetes primitives.Authentication
The
oc
binary offers a built-inlogin
command that allows authentication and enables you to work with OpenShift Container Platform projects, which map Kubernetes namespaces to authenticated users. See Understanding authentication for more information.Additional commands
The additional command
oc new-app
, for example, makes it easier to get new applications started using existing source code or pre-built images. Similarly, the additional commandoc new-project
makes it easier to start a project that you can switch to as your default.
1.6.2. The kubectl binary
The kubectl
binary is provided as a means to support existing workflows and scripts for new OpenShift Container Platform users coming from a standard Kubernetes environment, or for those who prefer to use the kubectl
CLI. Existing users of kubectl
can continue to use the binary to interact with Kubernetes primitives, with no changes required to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
You can install the supported kubectl
binary by following the steps to Install the CLI. The kubectl
binary is included in the archive if you download the binary, or is installed when you install the CLI by using an RPM.
For more information, see the kubectl documentation.
