kmux

A tmux launcher for Kubernetes that creates one pane per pod, sets the env variables POD, KUBE_CONTEXT, and KUBE_NAMESPACE and runs the commands in the given input file in every pane.

Dependencies

• Python 3.8+
• smux
• tmux (any version)

Installation

Manual Method:

git clone https://github.com/hq6/kmux.git
# Add the directory to your PATH

Automatic Method:

pip3 install kmux.py

Usage

0. Create a new file, either from scratch or by copying Sample.kmux.

1. Type in the commands that you want to run, likely dependent on the selected POD.

   ---------
   command1
   command2
   command3
   

   Note that a pane does not necessary need to run any commands.

2. Run kmux.py <input_file_name>. By default, this will run the commands in the input file against all pods in the current Kubernetes context You may also specify a target context with the command line option --kube_context. It will exhibit undefined behavior if there is no current context and no context has been specified.
