Problem installing k8s and related tooling with ujust

Bluefin and Aurora
1

Hi there,

I started using Bluefin-dx today and I’m very positively surprised. As I was experimenting with the various things that ujust makes possible, the documentation here said that I should be able to invoke ujust k8s-dev-tools, but ujust won’t recognize such a spell. I get greeted with a: error: Justfile does not contain recipe k8s-dev-tools.

I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong, or if there’s a small hiccup somewhere. Not a big deal since I’m working with helm from a devcontainer for now, but I’d love to try out these tools without one.

It’s a hiccup, I finished the docs before the command got merged, it should be in your next update. To install them by hand do this in the meantime:

brew install kubectl k9s kubectx

I’m thinking helm should be in that list too, what do you think, any other obvious ones we should add?

Ah, that explains it. Looking forward to the update!

I think having the tools on that list are a great start already. Most people’s needs are served by those. I personally also need krew but I’m not sure if it’d be universally useful. (Mainly work with OpenShift and OKD clusters)

I would rather include k8s tools that people actually use with bluefin, especially if they live in the upstream k8s repo. Keep em coming, either here or in the issue, thanks!

Sure thing. I’ll get back to this tomorrow (GMT+3) after I go through my toolkit to see if I forgot something generally useful.

Since helm got added, do you think kustomize would be useful as an option? At least in my org we don’t use it very much, but plenty of people still use it. kompose is also a useful tool for converting docker-compose specifications into kubernetes resources and I use it quite a lot when migrating stuff around.

Both can be found readily via brew.
