kubectl config view --minify --flatten > kubeconfigdata

Store the contents of the single kube config file to an environment variables file

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/files codeship/env-var-helper cp kubeconfigdata:/root/.kube/config k8s-env
rm kubeconfigdata

View contents stored by codeship/env-var-helper tool

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/files codeship/env-var-helper ls k8s-env

View individual file stored by codeship/env-var-helper tool

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/files codeship/env-var-helper cat /root/.kube/config k8s-env

Remove an individual file stored by codeship/env-var-helper tool

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/files codeship/env-var-helper rm /root/.kube/config k8s-env

Store file back to environment variable file

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/files codeship/env-var-helper cp kubeconfigdata:/root/.kube/config k8s-env

Encrypt the environment variables file

• Install our jet cli tool on your local machine
• Setup your repository on your SCM of choice
• Grab the git url of the repository and create a Codeship Pro project
• From your Codeship 'Project Settings' > 'General' page, scroll down to AES key section and click 'Download Key'
• Move downloaded key to your project directory and rename to codeship.aes
• Add codeship.aes to your .gitignore file (!)
• Add any additional environment variables to the codeship.env file
• Run jet encrypt k8s-env k8s-env.encrypted
• The k8s-env.encrypted will be safe to check into your git repository
• Remove the plaintext file from your project --> rm k8s-env

Run jet steps

• Run jet steps
• Steps should pass, demonstrating that kubectl configurations are now accessible to the kubectl container
