"k3sup app install" has become "arkade"

[alexellis]

Announcement

k3sup app install can install software like OpenFaaS, Minio, Kubernetes Dashboard to any Kubernetes cluster think of it like brew, for helm. It uses helm charts, but abstracts away all the horrible details behind a simple set of Go CLI flags.

"k3sup app install/info" has become "arkade"

This is because:

• People dismiss k3sup for installing apps to Kubernetes because it contains the word k3s
• I've tried very hard to educate folks including blogs, Tweets and the README
• People still ask "does k3sup app install work on Kubernetes", the answer is YES! 🤓

I feel like I have only one choice left, which is to rename the "apps" part of the project and spin it out into its own thing (arkade)

So k3sup will return to its original goal of only bootstrapping and configuring k3s cluster, and nothing more.

You will also be able to get tools such as Arkade via k3sup download arkade and k3sup download kubectl.

Please try out the new project and let me know what you think
