如何使用 kubectl 在部署中修补容器环境变量？

Question

When I want to exctract the current value of some container env variabe I could use jsonpath with syntax like:

kubectl get pods -l component='somelabel' -n somenamespace -o \
jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].env[?(@.name=="SOME_ENV_VARIABLE")].value}')

That will return me the value of env varialbe with the name SOME_ENV_VARIABLE . Pod section with container env variables in json will look like this:

            "spec": {
                "containers": [
                    {
                        "env": [
                            {
                                "name": "SOME_ENV_VARIABLE",
                                "value": "some_value"
                            },
                            {
                                "name": "ANOTHER_ENV_VARIABLE",
                                "value": "another_value"
                            }
                        ],

When I want to patch some value in my deployment I'm using commands with syntax like:

kubectl -n kube-system patch svc kubernetes-dashboard --type='json' -p="[{'op': 'replace', 'path': '/spec/ports/0/nodePort', 'value': $PORT}]"

But how can I patch a variable with 'op': 'replace' in cases where I need to use expression like env[?(@.name=="SOME_ENV_VARIABLE")] ? Which syntax I should use?

Answer 1

Rather than kubectl patch command, you can make use of kubectl set env to update environment variable of k8s deployment.

envvalue=$(kubectl get pods -l component='somelabel' -n somenamespace -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].env[?(@.name=="SOME_ENV_VARIABLE")].value}')
kubectl set env deployment/my-app-deploy op=$envvalue

Hope this helps.

他们中的大多数都没有提供正确的命令，只是使用简单=>

 kubectl set env deployment/deploy_name APP_VERSION=value -n namespace

• op: replace path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/env/0/name value: YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME
• op: replace path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/env/0/value value: YOUR_VARIABLE_VALUE
