Adding kubernetes cluster to our private gitlab server

Posted on October 17, 2018

Ubuntu 18.04

Hello, we have a private gitlab server and I am trying to connect a DO kubernetes cluster to our CI/CD. On the setup page, I have the following fields:

Kubernetes cluster name API URL CA Certificate Token Project namespace (optional, unique)

From the config file generated from the DO kubernetes page, I have the cluster name and CA Certificate. What is the API URL and Token that I must use here?

Thanks, David

Hey there - would the below two commands help?

# Get server
echo $(kubectl config view | grep server | cut -f 2- -d ":" | tr -d " ")

# Get server token
echo $(kubectl describe secret $(kubectl get secrets | grep default | cut -f1 -d ' ') | grep -E '^token' | cut -f2 -d':' | tr -d '\t')

Just copy what shows in the terminal when you run those. May be applicable to you.

Hi John, thanks for your help.

I am using the OD <beta> kubernetes. I managed to enter on the console and when I run the kubectl config view, everything is empty…

I’m sorry but I don’t have too much experience with Kubernetes.

Thanks, David
