SeKube a dumb program to show kubernetes secrets

It does two(and a half) things:

• It lists kubernetes secrets
• It prints kubernetes secrets
• It caches availible secrets for fast tab-completion

KubeCTL is fine and dandy but when you are doing OPS and some one asks you “we can’t get it to work, can you confirm the content of this secret” or “could you check the certificate in this secret and see if you can figure out what is wrong..” you have to do this little dance with kubectl [blah] -o json | jq -r .data[] |base64 -d and it gets quite tedious after a while. This script aims to be stupid and simple and just simplify those steps.

Further more trying to use kubectl for tab-completion can be quite a chore due to the long response time. In order to aliviate this sekube tries to keep a local cache of availible keys in order to make tab-completion faster.

Usage example

entering a non-existant secret (not using tab-complete) :

$ sekube certi
Error: "certi" not found in "None", did you mean:
  sec-certificate-monitor in default
  certificate-controller-token in kube-system
  sec-webscale in default
  ipfs in ipfs 

Printing the content of a secret to the screen :

$ sekube sec-certificate-monitor
============= github_token =============

============== sentry_dsn ==============

It supports tab-completion

Add eval "$(_SEKUBE_COMPLETE=bash_source sekube)" to your .bashrc to enable it

Why is it called sekube? and not kube-secrets or similar ?

Because I use ku-<TAB> as a shortcut for kubectl waay to ofte to want to have things interfearing with that (yes I could create an alias for kubectl, but I wont)
