Ability to change default namespace without namespace permission

[morhook]

On my work cluster the permission to list namespaces has been revoked. I cannot use anymore kubenav for any functionality on my iOS device (listing pods, deployments, etc).

Is there any way to do this via the interface for my use case? Or do I need a modification on the interface?

Hi @morhook, currently there is no way to change the namespace without the permission to list all namespaces. Maybe we should add a new input field in the EditCluster component which also allows the modification of the namespace. Currently the namespace isn't editable there: https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav/blob/master/src/components/settings/clusters/EditCluster.tsx#L108

On EditCluster will certainly work! Thanks a lot!

HI @morhook, the beta versions with the change are now available for iOS, Android and the desktop:

• Apple Testflight
• Google Play
• Desktop

I can see the edition of the namespace, but I’m getting an error that says “Could not create Kubernetes API client”

Hi, sorry that it didn't work for you. Do you add your cluster using the Kubeconfig/manual option or do you use a cloud provider?

[morhook]

I used a manual configuration. It’s not cloud based the cluster I work on. El El sáb, 30 may. 2020 a la(s) 18:56, Rico Berger <notifications@github.com> escribió:

Hi, I was able to reproduce your problem. For me the error occurred when I add a slash or space to the URL in the edit modal. I will improve this with the next version:

kubenav/src/utils/context.tsx

Line 224 in bfff5d3

editCluster.url =

Can you check the fields in the edit modal, that they didn't contain any spaces please?

[morhook]

I’ve confirmed. No spaces on my URL.

Mh, not sure what the problem is here. I think I tested every possible combination now. I only run into the problem, when one of the provided values wasn't formatted correctly or when I enabled the Insecure Skip TLS Verify toggle and also provide the Certificate Authority Data.

[morhook]

On my config I put a name, a Token, a server URL, a username and a namespace.

[ricoberger]

Thanks for sharing, If you didn't provide the Certificate Authority Data you have to enable the Insecure Skip TLS Verify option. Also Token + Username wouldn't work. You have to set Username + Password for basic auth header or Token for the Authorization: Bearer header.

That did it! Thanks @ricoberger !
