8.2. Local access kubeconfig file


The local access kubeconfig file is written to /var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig. This kubeconfig file provides access to the API server by using localhost. Choose this file when you are connecting the node locally.

Example contents of kubeconfig for local access

clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: <base64 CA>
    server: https://localhost:6443

The localhost kubeconfig file can only be used from a client connecting to the API server from the same host. The certificates in the file do not work for remote connections.

8.2.1. Accessing the MicroShift node locally

Use the following procedure to access the MicroShift node locally by using a kubeconfig file.

Prerequisites

  • You installed OpenShift CLI (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

Verification

  • Verify that MicroShift is running by entering the following command:

    $ oc get pods -A

    注意

    This example output shows a basic MicroShift installation. If you installed optional RPMs, the status of pods running those services is also expected in your output.
