OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker Cheat sheet
Comprehensive CLI Cheatsheet for OpenShift, Kubernetes and Docker.
Most of the time oc
and kubectl
shares the same command set but some cases we have some differences.
oc
has support for logging to OpenShift cluster- with
kubectl
you need to create your kubeconfig file with credentials.

CLI Installation
OpenShift CLI Installation
oc
command line tool will be installed on all master and node machines during cluster installation. You can also install oc utility on any other machines which is not part of openshift cluster.
Download oc cli tool from : https://www.okd.io/download.html
On a RHEL system with valid subscription you can install with yum as below.
$ sudo yum install -y atomic-openshift-clients
Many common oc operations are invoked using the following syntax:
$ oc <action> <object_type> <object_name_or_id>
Install and Set Up kubectl
Download the latest release with the command:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
Make the kubectl binary executable.
chmod +x ./kubectl
Move the binary in to your PATH.
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
kubectl version
Basic Structure of OpenShift/Kubernetes definition file
(below one is a service definition)
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-service
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- targetPort: 80
port: 80
nodePort: 30008
selector:
app: myapp
type: front-end
Login and Logout
oc login <cluster-api>:<port> -u admin -p openshift
# Login to openshift cluster
oc whoami # identify the current login
oc whoami -t # get token
oc whoami --show-console # show console URL
oc login -u system:admin # login to cluster from any master node without a password
oc logout # logout from cluster
kubectl auth whoami # Check who you are and your attributes
# (groups, extra).
oc status
oc status -v # get oc cluster status
oc types # to list all concepts and types
Managing Projects
oc get projects # list Existing Projects
oc get project # Display current project
oc project myproject # switch to a project
oc new-project testlab --display-name='testlab' --description='testlab'
# create a new project
oc adm new-project testlab --node-selector='project101=testlab'
# create a new project with node-selector.
# Project pods will be created only those nodes with a label "project101=testlab"
oc delete project testlab # delete a project
oc delete all --all # delete all from a project
oc delete all -l app=web # delete all where label app=web
Viewing, Finding Resources
oc get all # list all resource items
-w watches the result output in realtime.
oc process # process a template into list of resources.
Taints and Tolerations
kubectl taint nodes node1 app=blue:NoSchedule
# Apply taint on node
kubectl taint nodes node1 app=blue:NoSchedule-
# untaint a node by using "-" at the end.
Controlling Access & Managing Users
oc create user USER_NAME # create a user
oc adm add-role-to-user ROLE_NAME USERNAME -n PROJECT_NAME
# add cluster role to a user
# add-role-to-group - to add role to a group
# add-cluster-role-to-user - to add cluster role to a user
# add-cluster-role-to-group - to add cluster role to a group
eg:
oc adm add-role-to-user edit demo-user -n demo-project
oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin develoer
# add cluster-admin role to the user developer
oc adm policy remove-cluster-role-from-group \
self-provisioner \
system:authenticated \
system:authenticated:oauth
# remove role from a group
oc get sa # list all service accounts
oc get cluserrole # list all cluster rolesrole
oc get rolebinding -n PROJECT_NAME
# list all roles details for the project
oc describe policybindings :default -n PROJECT_NAME
# OCP 3.7 < show details of a project policy details
oc describe rolebinding.rbac -n PROJECT_NAME
# OCP 3.7 > show details of a project policy details
oc describe user USER_NAME # details of a user
oc adm policy who-can edit pod -n PROJECT_NAME
# list details of access
You can also create user with HTPasswdIdentityProvider module as below.
htpasswd -b /etc/origin/master/htpasswd user1 password1
# create user1
# -b used to take password from command line rather than promopting for it.
htpasswd -D /etc/origin/master/htpasswd user1
# -D deletes user1
Check Access
kubectl auth can-i create deployments
# check access
kubectl auth can-i create deployments \
--as user1

# get quota details of the project
oc delete quota -n PROJECT_NAME
# delete a quota for the project
Labels & Annotations
- Label examples: release, environment, relationship, dmzbased, tier, node type, user type
- Identifying metadata consisting of key/value pairs attached to resources
- Annotation examples: example.com/skipValidation=true, example.com/MD5checksum-1234ABC, example.com/BUILDDATE=20171217
- Primarily concerned with attaching non-identifying information, which is used by other clients such as tools or libraries
oc label node1 region=us-west zone=power1a --overwrite
oc label node node2 region=apac-sg zone=power2b --overwrite
oc patch node NODE_NAME -p '{"metadata": {"labels": {"project101":"testlab"}}}'
# add label to node
oc patch dc myapp --patch '{"spec":{"template":{"nodeselector":{"env":"qa"}}}'
# modify dc to run pods only on nodes where label 'evn':'qa'
oc label secret ssl-secret env=test
# add label

- anyuid
- hostaccess
- Hostmount-anyuid
- hostnetwork
- nonroot
- privileged
- restricted
oc describe scc SCC_NAME # can see which all service account enabled.
Services & Routes
oc expose service SERVICE_NAME route-name-project-name.default-domain
or
oc expose svc SERVICE_NAME
# create/expose a service route
eg:
oc expose service myapache --name=myapache --hostname=myapache.app.cloudapps.example.com
# if you don't mention the hostname, then
# it will create a hostname as route-name-project-name.default-domain
# if you don't mention the route name, then
# it will take the service name as route name
oc port-forward POD_NAME 3306:3306
# temporary port-forwarding to a port from local host.
Scaling & AutoScaling of the pod - HorizontalPodAutoscaler
OpenShift
oc scale dc/APP_NAME --replicas=2
# scale application (increase or decrease replicas)
oc autoscale dc my-app --min 1 --max 4 --cpu-percent=75
# enable autoscaling for my-app
oc get hpa my-app # list Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
oc describe hpa/my-app
Kubernetes
kubectl create -f replicaset-defenition.yml
# create replicaset
kubectl create -f replicaset-defenition.yml -namespace=YOUR_NAMESPACE
# create in a specific namespace
kubectl replace -f replicaset-defenition.yml
# change the replicas option in replicaset defenition
# and then run it
kubectl scale --replicas=6 -f replicaset-defenition.yml
kubectl scale --replicas=6 replicaset myapp-replicaset
# this one will not update replica details
# in replicaset defenition file
kubectl delete replicaset myapp-replicaset
# delete replicaset
Configuration Maps (ConfigMap)
- Similar to secrets, but with non-sensitive text-based configuration
Creation of objects
oc create configmap test-config --from-literal=key1=config1 --from-literal=key2=config2 --from-file=filters.properties
oc volume dc/nodejs-ex --add -t configmap -m /etc/config --name=app-config --configmap-name=test-config
Reading config maps
oc rsh nodejs-ex-26-44kdm ls /etc/config
Dynamically change the config map
oc delete configmap test-config
<CREATE AGAIN WITH NEW VALUES>
<NO NEED FOR MOUNTING AS VOLUME AGAIN>
Mounting config map as ENV

OpenShift Builds
Build strategies
-
Source-to-Image (S2I): uses the opensource S2I tool to enable developers to reporducibly build images by layering the application’s soure onto a container image
-
Docker: using the Dockerfile
-
Pipeline: uses Jenkins, developers provide Jenkinsfile containing the requisite build commands
-
Custom: allows the developer to provide a customized builder image to build runtime image
Build sources
- Git
- Dockerfile
- Image
- Binary
Build Configurations
- contains the details of the chosen build strategy as well as the source
oc new-app https://github.com/openshift/nodejs-ex
oc get bc/nodejs-ex -o yaml
- unless specified otherwise, the
oc new-app
command will scan the supplied Git repo. If it finds a Dockerfile, the Docker build strategy will be used; otherwise source strategy will be used and an S2I builder will be configured
S2I
- Components:
- Builder image - installation and runtime dependencies for the app
- S2I script - assemble/run/usage/save-artifacts/test/run
- Process:
- Start an instance of the builder image
- Retreive the source artifacts from the specified repository
- Place the source artifacts as well as the S2I scripts into the builder image (bundle into .tar and stream into builder image)
- Execute assemble script
- Commit the image and push to OCP registry
- Customize the build process:
- Custom S2I scripts - their own assemble/run etc. by placing scripts in .s2i/bin at the base of the source code, can also contain environment file
- Custom S2I builder - write your own custom builder
Troubleshooting
- Adding the –follow flag to the start-build command
- oc get builds
- oc logs build/test-app-3
- oc set env bc/test-app BUILD_LOGLEVEL=5 S2I_DEBUG=true
oc adm diagnostics
--dry-run
: To test your command; this will not create the resource, instead, tell you weather the resource can be created and if your command is right.-
-o yaml
: to print the output in YAML (or JASON) format. - Operational layers:
- Operating system infrastructure operations - compute, network, storage, OS
- Cluster operations - cluster managemebt OpenShift/Kubernetes
- Application operations - deployments, telemetry, logging
Integrated logging
- the EFK (Elasticsearch/Fluentd/Kibana) stack aggregates logs from nodes and application pods
oc cluster up --logging=true
Simple metrics
- the Kubelet/Heapster/Cassandra and you can use Grafana to build dashboard
oc cluster up --metrics=true
kubectl top node # memory and CPU usage on node
kubectl top pod # memory and CPU usage by pods
# 3. Enable metrics in minikube
minikube addons enable metrics-server
Resource scheduling
- default behavior:
-
best effor isolation = no primises what resources can be allocated for your project
-
might get defaulted values
-
out of memory killed randomly
-
might get CPU starved (wait to schedule your workload)
Multiproject quota
- you may use project labels or annotations when creating multiproject spanning quotas
oc login -u system:admin
oc login -u developer -p developer
oc describe AppliedClusterResourceQuota
Essential Docker Registry Commands
docker login -u USER_NAME -p TOKEN REGISTRY_URL
# before we push images, we need to
login to docker registry.
docker login -u developer -p ${TOKEN} \
docker-registry-default.apps.lab.example.com
# TOKEN can be get as TOKEN=$(oc whoami)
docker images --no-trunc --format ' ' --filter "dangling=true" --filter "before=IMAGE_ID"
# list image with format and
# using multiple filters
Private Docker Registry and Access
kubectl create secret docker-registry private-docker-cred \
--docker-server=myregistry
--docker-username=registry-user
--docker-password=registry-password
[email protected]
# Create a secret for docker-registry
Then specify the image pull secret under the imagePullSecrets
of pod/deployment definition (same level of container
)
imagePullSecrets:
- name: private-docker-cred
Docker Commands
Docker commands Dockerfile references are moved to iamgini.com/docker-cheat-sheet.
Basic Networking
(For docker/kubernetes/openshift operations)
ip link # show interface of host
ip addr add 10.1.10.10/24 dev eth0
# assign IP to an interface
ip route add 10.1.20.0/24 via 10.1.10.1
# add a route to another network 10.1.20.0/24
via 10.1.10.1 which is our router/gateway.
ip route add default via 10.1.10.1
# add defaulr route to any network; like internet
you can also mention 0.0.0.0/0 instead of default
route # display kernel routing table
ip netns add newnamespace # create a new network namespace
ip netns # list network namespaces
ip netns exec red ping IP_ADDRESS
ip netns exec newnamespace ip link
# display details inside namespace
ip link add veth-red type veth peer name veth-blue
# create a pipe or virtual eth (veth)
ip link set veth-red netns red
# attach the virtual interface to a namespace
ip -n red addr add 10.1.10.1 dev veth-red
# assign ip for virtual interface (veth)
inside a namespace
ip -n red link set veth-red up
# make virtual interface up and running
ip link add v-net-0 type bridge
# add linux bridge
Technical Jargons
OSSM OpenShift Service Mesh (OSSM)
Istio is the upstream project
- The upstream Istio community installation automatically
injects the sidecar to namespaces you have labeled.
- Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh does not automatically
inject the sidecar to any namespaces, but requires you to
specify the sidecar.istio.io/inject annotation as
illustrated in the Automatic sidecar injection section.
CRI-O Container Runtime Interface
OCI Open Container Initiative
cgroup control group
Jaeger Distributed Tracing System
kiali observability console for Istio
Kiali answers the questions:
- What microservices are part of my Istio service mesh?
- How are they connected?
- How are they performing?
runc CLI tool for spawning and running
containers according to the OCI specification.
FaaS Function as a Service
CaaS Containers as a service
Points to Remember
- Docker was started as a project by a company called dotCloud, made available as open source in March 2013.
- Kubernetes surfaced from work at Google in 2014, and became the standard way of managing containers.
