Installing

You can install or upgrade HNC on your cluster using the following commands (admin privileges required):

# Select the latest version of HNC
HNC_VERSION=v1.1.0-rc2

# Install HNC. Afterwards, wait up to 30s for HNC to refresh the certificates on its webhooks.
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces/releases/download/${HNC_VERSION}/default.yaml 

WARNING: if your cluster already has HNC installed, please ensure you are using HNC v1.0.0 or later before trying to upgrade to v1.1.0.

To install the kubectl plugin on your workstation, either use Krew or install manually:

• [NOT SUPPORTED FOR RELEASE CANDIDATES] Via Krew: Install Krew if you don't have it already, then run the command kubectl krew update && kubectl krew install hns.

• Manually: Switch to any directory in your PATH (e.g. ~/bin) and run the following commands:

  # Ensure HNC_VERSION is set as above
  HNC_PLATFORM=linux_amd64 # also supported: linux_arm64, darwin_amd64, darwin_arm64, windows_amd64
  curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces/releases/download/${HNC_VERSION}/kubectl-hns_${HNC_PLATFORM} -o ./kubectl-hns
  chmod +x ./kubectl-hns
  
  # Ensure the plugin is working
  kubectl hns
  # The help text should be displayed
