How to Copy Container Files from DigitalOcean, Kubernetes
Download files from Kubernetes,
Step 1 – Connect to your digitalocean
Download the configuration file
To connect to your cluster from the command line, you need a configuration file on your administration machine that contains an authentication certificate and other connection information.
Step 2 Download the kubectl
The Kubernetes command-line tool, kubectl, allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters.
Example:kubectl passing config de view the Persistent Volume
kubectl --kubeconfig="config.yaml" get pv
To get namespaces
c:\kubernetes\kubectl --kubeconfig="config.yaml" get namespaces
To get the pods by passing the namespace,get pods from a namespaces: for example “ukgoodbye”
c:\kubernetes\kubectl --kubeconfig="config.yaml" get pods --namespace="ukgoodbye"
To copy or download the content for folder name “secondliveforstuff”
c:\kubernetes\kubectl --kubeconfig="config.yaml" cp ukgoodbye/ukgoodbye-75556b549-22rks:secondliveforstuff c:\kubernetes\secondliveforstuff
kubectl –help
S C:\> kubectl cp --help
Copy files and directories to and from containers.
Examples:
# !!!Important Note!!!
# Requires that the 'tar' binary is present in your container
# image. If 'tar' is not present, 'kubectl cp' will fail.
#
# For advanced use cases, such as symlinks, wildcard expansion or
# file mode preservation consider using 'kubectl exec'.
# Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace
tar cf - /tmp/foo | kubectl exec -i -n -- tar xf - -C /tmp/bar
# Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally
kubectl exec -n -- tar cf - /tmp/foo | tar xf - -C /tmp/bar
# Copy /tmp/foo_dir local directory to /tmp/bar_dir in a remote pod in the default namespace
kubectl cp /tmp/foo_dir :/tmp/bar_dir
# Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in a specific container
kubectl cp /tmp/foo :/tmp/bar -c
# Copy /tmp/foo local file to /tmp/bar in a remote pod in namespace
kubectl cp /tmp/foo /:/tmp/bar
# Copy /tmp/foo from a remote pod to /tmp/bar locally
kubectl cp /:/tmp/foo /tmp/bar
Options:
-c, --container='': Container name. If omitted, the first container in the pod will be chosen
--no-preserve=false: The copied file/directory's ownership and permissions will not be preserved in the container
Usage:
kubectl cp [options]
Use "kubectl options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).
