NAME

podman-generate-kube - Generate Kubernetes YAML based on a pod or container

SYNOPSIS

podman generate kube [options] container... | pod

DESCRIPTION

podman generate kube will generate Kubernetes Pod YAML (v1 specification) from Podman one or more containers or a single pod. Whether the input is for containers or a pod, Podman will always generate the specification as a Pod. The input may be in the form of a pod or one or more container names or IDs.

Note that the generated Kubernetes YAML file can be used to re-run the deployment via podman-play-kube(1).

OPTIONS

--filename, -f=filename

Output to the given file, instead of STDOUT. If the file already exists, generate kube will refuse to replace it and return an error.

--service, -s

Generate a Kubernetes service object in addition to the Pods. Used to generate a Service specification for the corresponding Pod output. In particular, if the object has portmap bindings, the service specification will include a NodePort declaration to expose the service. A random port is assigned by Podman in the specification.

EXAMPLES

Create Kubernetes Pod YAML for a container called some-mariadb .

$ sudo podman generate kube some-mariadb
# Generation of Kubenetes YAML is still under development!
#
# Save the output of this file and use kubectl create -f to import
# it into Kubernetes.
#
# Created with podman-0.11.2-dev
