This docker image is made up of common used tools I use for working with Kubernetes on Azure.
You do not need to install tools seperately and only need docker to run this container

This docker image includes:

• Kubectl
• Azure CLI
• Helm
• kubectx
• kubens
• Heptio ark
• Cloudfare SSL tools (for boostrapping clusters)

You will want to persist your files on your pc somewhere. On Windows, I do this in C:\Users\<ME>\kube-tools\ On Linux, I use my home dir.

Make sure the above folder exists!

I recommend using Powershell for Windows, but for bash on windows: Ensure $PWD works, set this in your bash terminal: export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1

You can install kube-tools via your bash profile and then simply run kubetools to start it up.

Run it: (Replace the user directory with yours!)

docker run -it  -v ${PWD}:/var/lib/src -v $home/kube-tools:/root --rm --workdir /var/lib/src aimvector/kube-tools:latest

Setup an alias for kubetools

echo "alias kubetools='docker run -it --rm  -v ~/.azure:/root/.azure -v \$PWD:/kubetools -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube --rm --network=host --workdir /kubetools aimvector/kube-tools'" >> ~/.bashrc

Or just run the image:

docker run -it --rm  -v ~/.azure:/root/.azure -v $PWD:/var/lib/src -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube --rm --network=host --workdir /var/lib/src aimvector/kube-tools

Once in, you can access the tools:

kubectl --help
helm --help
az --help
kubectx
kubens
ark --help

Alternatively, grab running the following command and get kubetools add to your /usr/local/bin

wget -qO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcel-dempers/kube-tools/master/kubetools.sh ~/kubetools
chdmox +x ~/kubetools
sudo mv ~/kubetools /usr/local/bin/kubetools

If you wish to customise it, you can build it from source:

docker build . -t kube-tools
