I have this folder structure:
ifsroot1
fsroot2
ifsroot3
for different installations. I do not fancy that part from the help file:
Place the config file to its default location
The default path for the kubeconfig file is c:\user\<YourUser>\.kube\config. Copy the file ifsroot\config\kube\config to c:\user\<YourUser>\.kube folder
since I need to do it every single time I decide to use ifsroot1, 2 or 3.
This part seems cleaner in my view as you don’t risk to have unintended config file:
Powershell
ps> $env:KUBECONFIG = "ifsroot\config\kube\config"
Cmd
cmd> set KUBECONFIG=ifsroot\config\kube\config
But what about --kubeconfig directive?. It is simply not accepted by the installer despite of this info:
So I run it like this:
PS C:\Temp\Cloud\ifsroot0\deliveries\build-home\ifsinstaller> .\installer.ps1 --values ..\..\..\config\ifscloud-values.yaml --values solutionset.yaml --set dbInstaller.sysPassword=xxxxx --kubeconfig ..\..\..\config\kube\config
