# Running Console in Operator mode
|
||||
|
||||
`Console` will authenticate against `Kubernetes`using bearer tokens via HTTP `Authorization` header. The user will provide this token once
|
||||
in the login form, Console will validate it against Kubernetes (list apis) and if valid will generate and return a new Console sessions
|
||||
with encrypted claims (the user Service account token will be inside the JWT in the data field)
|
||||
|
||||
# Kubernetes
|
||||
|
||||
The provided `JWT token` corresponds to the `Kubernetes service account` that `Console` will use to run tasks on behalf of the
|
||||
user, ie: list, create, edit, delete tenants, storage class, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Development
|
||||
|
||||
If console is running inside a k8s pod `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` and `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT` will contain the k8s api server apiServerAddress
|
||||
if console is not running inside k8s by default will look for the k8s api server on `localhost:8001` (kubectl proxy)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running console in your local environment and wish to make request to `Kubernetes` you can set `CONSOLE_K8S_API_SERVER`, if
|
||||
the environment variable is not present by default `Console` will use `"http://localhost:8001"`, additionally you will need to set the
|
||||
`CONSOLE_OPERATOR_MODE=on` variable to make Console display the Operator UI.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: using `kubectl` proxy is for local development only, since every request send to localhost:8001 will bypass service account authentication
|
||||
more info here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/access-cluster/#directly-accessing-the-rest-api
|
||||
you can override this using `CONSOLE_K8S_API_SERVER`, ie use the k8s cluster from `kubectl config view`
|
||||
|
||||
## Extract the Service account token and use it with Console
|
||||
|
||||
For local development you can use the jwt associated to the `console-sa` service account, you can get the token running
|
||||
the following command in your terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
kubectl get secret $(kubectl get serviceaccount console-sa -o jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64 --decode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the Console server
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CONSOLE_OPERATOR_MODE=on ./console server
