Kubernetes Plugin for DMS

A plugin that displays the current Kubernetes context in the DMS bar with the ability to switch between contexts.

Features

• Display current kubectl context in the DankBar
• Quick context switching via popup menu
• Configurable refresh interval (default: 300 seconds)
• Custom kubeconfig path support (default: ~/.kube/config)
• Auto-close popup after context selection
• Visual indicators for active context

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/psyreactor/dms-kubernetes.git kubernetes

Usage

1. Open DMS Settings Super + ,
2. Go to the "Plugins" tab
3. Enable the "Kubernetes" plugin
4. Configure settings if needed (kubeconfig path, refresh interval)
5. Add the "kubernetes" widget to your DankBar configuration

Configuration

Settings

• Kubeconfig Path: Path to your Kubernetes config file (default: ~/.kube/config)
• Refresh Interval: How often to refresh the current context in seconds (default: 300, range: 30-600)

Widget Display

The widget shows:

• Bar: Anchor icon ⚓ + current context name
• Popup: List of all available contexts with the ability to switch by clicking

Files

• plugin.json - Plugin manifest and metadata
• KubernetesWidget.qml - Main widget component
• KubernetesSettings.qml - Settings interface
• README.md - This file

Permissions

This plugin requires:

• settings_read - To read plugin configurations
• settings_write - To save plugin configurations

Requirements

• kubectl command-line tool must be installed and accessible in PATH
• Valid kubeconfig file at the configured path

How It Works

The plugin uses kubectl commands to:

1. Get the current context: kubectl config current-context
2. List all contexts: kubectl config get-contexts -o name
3. Switch contexts: kubectl config use-context <context-name>

All commands respect the configured kubeconfig path.
