Best Way to do Local Development?

[ekristen]

The documentation no longer works and the flag k8s-in-cluster is no longer used?

What's the best/correct way to do local development against a remote cluster?

I found the reference you're looking for:

commit 6bc51317caaf7f80a6c27a9624e6701b89c67dc9

    Honor KUBECONFIG env variable

    Also, delegate the creation of incluster configuration
    to the Kubernetes library.

    As a result, we are not making use of the `--in-cluster`
    argument anymore. Both the `--in-cluster` and `--kube-config`
    arguments have been deprecated (you can use the `KUBECONFIG`
    env variable instead).

I guess the doc you had in mind is docs/contributing/get-started-developing.md that still references --k8s-in-cluster as a way to tell flux daemon whether it runs in Kubernetes or not. Looks like one is supposed to set KUBECONFIG variable now.

At this time, I believe it is understood that nobody out there should be getting started with Flux v1 development anymore.

I'm going to close this without action, but we hope you've been able to upgrade to Flux v2 and note that Flux v1 remains in maintenance mode. Bugs with Flux v1 can be addressed as long as we keep it in maintenance mode, according to #3320 and the plan laid out in the Flux Migration Timetable. 👍

Thanks for using Flux.
