Filesystem store

Search for kubeconfig files on the local filesystem.

The filesystem store is the default store for kubeswitch. That means the CLI flag --store defaults to filesystem. Therefore, you can search through a specific directory on the local filesystem for kubeconfig files by only specifying the flag --kubeconfig-path.

Configuration

The filesystem store can be configured using CLI flags as well as the with the SwitchConfig file.

CLI flags

Search a directory on the local filesystem

To search the directory ~/.kube/switch on the local filesystem use the flag --kubeconfig-path. You do not need to specify --store filesystem as the flag --store defaults to filesystem. This flag only supports one path, to supply multiple directories, use the SwitchConfigfile.

switch --kubeconfig-path ~/.kube/my-path

Search a file on the local filesystem

The flag --kubeconfig-path also accepts a file as an argument.

switch --kubeconfig-path ~/.kube/my-path/my-kubeconfig-file.yaml

Set up the configuration file SwitchConfig

Search multiple directories on the local filesystem

kubeswitch can search over multiple directories and combine the search results. The path field accepts both directories and filepaths.

$ cat ~/.kube/switch-config.yaml
kind: SwitchConfig
version: v1alpha1
kubeconfigStores:
- kind: filesystem
  paths:
  - ~/.kube/my-other-kubeconfigs/
  - ~/.kube/my-next-kubeconfigs/
  - ~/.kube/config

Configuring more than one store of kind filesystem is possible. This makes sense if you use an index and want to define a different refresh interval per filepath. Please take a look here for more information.
