Kubectl Slackbot

Kubectl Slackbot is a bot based on nlopes slack api. Kubectl Slackbot allows you to run kubectl commands in slack.

Install

To install on a running kubernetes cluster just create a slack API token and update the "SLACK_API_TOKEN" environment var in the kubectl-deployment.yaml file. Once completed, just run the following:

kubectl create -f kubectl-deployment.yaml

Once running, invite the bot into a slack room and run commands as you normally would via kubectl.

Coming soon

Currently this is alpha quality code which probably shouldn't be used for anything too serious. Future plans include the following

• Moving the SLACK_API_TOKEN to a proper kubernetes secret in the example manifest
• Only allow whitelisted users to run kubectl commands
• More sane error handling (i.e. don't allow users to use -f flag for logs, and other stuff)
• Better handling of large outputs. I.e. only print the last N lines, or post it as a snippet.
