Connecting with kubectl

Download kubeconfig​

  1. Open the cluster detail page
  2. Click Download Kubeconfig (top right). The file is saved as <cluster-slug>-kubeconfig.yaml
  3. Point kubectl at the downloaded file:
export KUBECONFIG=~/Downloads/<cluster-slug>-kubeconfig.yaml
kubectl get nodes

The Access tab on the cluster detail page shows this command with your cluster's actual file name, and lets you copy the raw kubeconfig contents directly.

note

The kubeconfig is generated shortly after the cluster reaches the running state. If the button shows Generating Kubeconfig..., wait a moment; the download becomes available automatically.

Pulling private images​

To pull images from a private container registry, create an image pull secret with your registry's credentials:

kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred \
  --docker-server=<your-registry-host> \
  --docker-username=<your-username> \
  --docker-password=<your-token>

Then reference it in your pod spec:

spec:
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: regcred
