Kubectlpf

A small cli utility to do batch forwarding for kubectl pods. With auto-restart feature if pod (or network) appears to be dead.

Installation

npm i kubectlpf -g

Usage:

kubectlpf [<podname[:port]>]... [--namepsace=<namespace>] [--exclude=<podname>...] [--health-interval=<number>]

Note that pod name accepts partial naming match, e.g. you pod name is car-service, you may just type kubctlpf car. Port is optional if you have pods config which should be stored in ~/kube/pods.json. It should have podname: port format:

{
    "somepod": "3000"
}

If no podname is provided the script will search for local pods.json (same podname: port format), and run port forward for all of them. Use exclude param to exclude some of them for that case. Use health-interval to set custom health check interval in milliseconds (default is 5000).
