Kubernetes (kubectl) and Helm Docker Container

This is a containerized Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) and Helm based on thinkwrap/docker-kubernetes-cli.

This container includes the AWS CLI, Terraform v0.12.x binary and Helm.

Example build

docker build -t thinkwrap/docker-kubernetes-cli-helm .

Example usage

The example below (keys) assumes an existing AWS account.

Ensure the following are set

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<aws_access_key_id>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<aws_secret_access_key>"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="<aws_default_region>"

Run the container detatched

docker run --name docker-kubernetes-cli-helm \
    --rm \
    --detach \
    --tty \
    --env "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
    --env "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
    --env "AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION}" \
    thinkwrap/docker-kubernetes-cli-helm

Run a command

While this is obviously a very simple example, more complex usage, particularly in a CI/CD pipeline, is possible.

docker exec -it docker-kubernetes-cli-helm kubectl version 
docker exec -it docker-kubernetes-cli-helm helm version 

Ensure export USER=argocd to run argocd successfully.
