karmadactl edit
Edit a resource on the server
Synopsis
Edit a resource from the default editor.
The edit command allows you to directly edit any API resource you can retrieve via the command-line tools. It will open the editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR, or EDITOR environment variables, or fall back to 'vi' for Linux or 'notepad' for Windows. When attempting to open the editor, it will first attempt to use the shell that has been defined in the 'SHELL' environment variable. If this is not defined, the default shell will be used, which is '/bin/bash' for Linux or 'cmd' for Windows.
You can edit multiple objects, although changes are applied one at a time. The command accepts file names as well as command-line arguments, although the files you point to must be previously saved versions of resources.
Editing is done with the API version used to fetch the resource. To edit using a specific API version, fully-qualify the resource, version, and group.
The default format is YAML. To edit in JSON, specify "-o json".
The flag --windows-line-endings can be used to force Windows line endings, otherwise the default for your operating system will be used.
In the event an error occurs while updating, a temporary file will be created on disk that contains your unapplied changes. The most common error when updating a resource is another editor changing the resource on the server. When this occurs, you will have to apply your changes to the newer version of the resource, or update your temporary saved copy to include the latest resource version.
karmadactl edit (RESOURCE/NAME | -f FILENAME)
Examples
# Edit the service named 'registry'
karmadactl edit svc/registry
# Use an alternative editor
KUBE_EDITOR="nano" karmadactl edit svc/registry
# Edit the job 'myjob' in JSON using the v1 API format
karmadactl edit job.v1.batch/myjob -o json
# Edit the deployment 'mydeployment' in YAML and save the modified config in its annotation
karmadactl edit deployment/mydeployment -o yaml --save-config
# Edit the 'status' subresource for the 'mydeployment' deployment
karmadactl edit deployment mydeployment --subresource='status'
Options
--allow-missing-template-keys If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats. (default true)
--field-manager string Name of the manager used to track field ownership. (default "kubectl-edit")
-f, --filename strings Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to edit the resource
-h, --help help for edit
-k, --kustomize string Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
-o, --output string Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).
--output-patch Output the patch if the resource is edited.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--save-config If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be unchanged. This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
--show-managed-fields If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
--subresource string If specified, edit will operate on the subresource of the requested object. Must be one of [status]. This flag is beta and may change in the future.
--template string Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
--validate string[="strict"] Must be one of: strict (or true), warn, ignore (or false).
"true" or "strict" will use a schema to validate the input and fail the request if invalid. It will perform server side validation if ServerSideFieldValidation is enabled on the api-server, but will fall back to less reliable client-side validation if not.
"warn" will warn about unknown or duplicate fields without blocking the request if server-side field validation is enabled on the API server, and behave as "ignore" otherwise.
"false" or "ignore" will not perform any schema validation, silently dropping any unknown or duplicate fields. (default "strict")
--windows-line-endings Defaults to the line ending native to your platform.
Options inherited from parent commands
--add-dir-header If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--kubeconfig string Paths to a kubeconfig. Only required if out-of-cluster.
--log-backtrace-at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0)
--log-dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--log-file string If non-empty, use this log file (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--log-file-max-size uint Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to (no effect when -logtostderr=true). Unit is megabytes. If the value is 0, the maximum file size is unlimited. (default 1800)
--logtostderr log to standard error instead of files (default true)
--one-output If true, only write logs to their native severity level (vs also writing to each lower severity level; no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--skip-headers If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
--skip-log-headers If true, avoid headers when opening log files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr when writing to files and stderr (no effect when -logtostderr=true or -alsologtostderr=true) (default 2)
-v, --v Level number for the log level verbosity
--vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
