Configuring Kubeconfig

To administrate your Kubernetes cluster from Gitpod, you need to add your Kubeconfig to your Gitpod workspace. There are two ways to do it:

1- Copying the into your workspace

Copy your kubeconfig into a ~/.kube/config file in your Gitpod workspace.

nano ~/.kube/config

2- Adding your kubeconfig as a Gitpod secret

Gitpod supports encrypted, user-specific environment variables. They are stored as part of your user settings and can be used to set access tokens, or pass any other kind of user-specific information to your workspaces.

To do it you need to follow this steps:

1. Convert Kubeconfig to base64

   cat kubeconfig | base64 -w 0

2. Copy Kubeconfig (base64 format) to Gitpod

   

3. Configure the project to extract kubeconfig, by editing your .gitpod.yml file and add this following content:

   tasks:
     - name: Set K8s context
       command: echo $KUBECONFIG | base64 -d > ~/.kube/config
