Makes it easy to run Kubernetes jobs.

kob

A tool for starting Kubernetes jobs easily from the command line.

For now, it only handles job arguments, as we commonly want to manually run a job but with specific inputs. A templating engine would be overkill here, and would produce unwanted artefacts. kob applies changes in memory, and then immediately creates the job.

To create a single new job from a K8s spec-file, with the args ["one", "two", "three"]:

kob with-args -f path/to/spec.yml one two three

Args are passed as arguments to the Docker command, they don’t override the command itself.

Building

go build -o kob

Troubleshooting

If K8s is complaining that one of your arguments is not executable, make sure you have ENTRYPOINT in your Dockerfile, not CMD, so you can pass args to it.
