PodFiles

PodFiles is a tool based on amisgo, designed to manage files within Kubernetes pods.

It provides a user-friendly interface to list namespaces, pods, containers, as well as directories and files within the containers, and supports file uploads and downloads between your local environment and pod containers.

Installation

You can install PodFiles using one of the following methods:

1. Deploy as a Pod in the Cluster

Use the interactive script below:

# 1. Download the deployment script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zrcoder/podFiles/main/cmd/deploy/apply.sh

# 2. Make the script executable
chmod +x apply.sh

# 3. Run the deployment script
./apply.sh

# 4. Follow the prompts to configure your deployment.
# The script will guide you through setting the namespace, image, and so on.

2. Install the PodFiles Binary

This can be deployed inside or outside the cluster, requiring a kubeconfig file.

go install github.com/zrcoder/podFiles/cmd/podFiles@latest

# Assuming the kubeconfig file is ~/.kube/config
KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config nohup podFiles > podFiles.log 2>&1 &

Use the NS_BLACK_LIST environment variable to specify namespaces to ignore.

KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config NS_BLACK_LIST=kube-,default nohup podFiles > podFiles.log 2>&1 &

By default, PodFiles uses port 8080. You can specify a different port with the PORT environment variable:

KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config PORT=8081 nohup podFiles > podFiles.log 2>&1 &
