The kubectl fdb plugin is released as a binary as part of our release process. For the latest version take a look at the release page.

Install from release:

pushd $TMPDIR
if [ -f "$TMPDIR/kubectl-fdb-version.txt" ]; then
   rm "$TMPDIR/kubectl-fdb-version.txt"
fi
OS=$(uname)
ARCH=$(uname -m)
VERSION="$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/FoundationDB/fdb-kubernetes-operator/releases/latest" | jq -r '.tag_name')"
curl -sLO "https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-kubernetes-operator/releases/download/${VERSION}/checksums.txt"
curl -sLO "https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-kubernetes-operator/releases/download/${VERSION}/kubectl-fdb_${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}"
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
chmod +x kubectl-fdb_${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}
sudo mv ./kubectl-fdb_${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH} /usr/local/bin/kubectl-fdb
popd

In order to install the latest version from the source code run:

make plugin
# move the binary into your path
export PATH="${PATH}:$(pwd)/dist/kubectl-fdb_$(go env GOHOSTOS)_$(go env GOARCH)"

You can verify the version of the locally installed kubectl-fdb binary by running:

$ kubectl fdb version --client-only
kubectl-fdb: 1.16.0

Planned operations

We have a list of planned operations that we want to implement. Raise an issue if you miss a specific command to operate FDB on Kubernetes.

Plugin Version Check

Per default the plugin will check if there is a newer version present. For this the plugin will contact the GitHub API and check for the latest release. If a newer version was found the command will exit with the request to update the plugin. The version check can be disabled by setting --version-check=false when issuing a command. The plugin will create a local cache in the temp directory to reduce the calls to the GitHub API, the file is located under $TMPDIR/kubectl-fdb-version.txt.
