kube-sync

Kube Sync is a CLI application to copy/sync ConfigMaps and secrets from one namespace to another.

Motivation

While working with Kubernetes, all of us might have encountered a situation where applications deployed in a new namespace were failing because of missing image pull secret, which we forgot to create in the new namespace. This tool helps us in copying such secrets or ConfigMaps from an already existing namespace to a new namespace.

Installation

Stable binaries are also available on the releases page. Stable releases are generally recommended for CI usage in particular. To install, download the binary for your platform from "Assets" and place this into your $PATH:

For Linux:

curl -Lo ./kube-sync https://github.com/viveksyngh/kube-sync/releases/download/v0.1.0/kube-sync-$(uname)-amd64
chmod +x ./kube-sync
mv ./kube-sync /usr/local/bin/kube-sync

On macOS via Bash:

curl -Lo ./kube-sync https://github.com/viveksyngh/kube-sync/releases/download/v0.1.0/kube-sync-darwin-amd64
chmod +x ./kube-sync
mv ./kube-sync /usr/local/bin/kube-sync

On Windows:

curl.exe -Lo kube-sync-windows-amd64.exe https://github.com/viveksyngh/kube-sync/releases/download/v0.1.0/kube-sync-windows-amd64
Move-Item .\kube-sync-windows-amd64.exe  c:\some-dir-in-your-PATH\kube-sync-windows-amd64.exe
