jaganthoutam/kubectl-slackbot repository overview

⁠Kubectl Slackbot

Kubectl Slackbot is a bot based on nlopes slack api⁠. Kubectl Slackbot allows you to run kubectl commands in slack.

⁠Install

To install on a running kubernetes cluster just create a slack API token and update the "SLACK_API_TOKEN" environment var in the kubectl-deployment.yaml file. Once completed, just run the following:

kubectl create -f kubectl-deployment.yaml

Once running, invite the bot into a slack room and run commands as you normally would via kubectl.

⁠Coming soon

Currently this is alpha quality code which probably shouldn't be used for anything too serious. Future plans include the following

• Moving the SLACK_API_TOKEN to a proper kubernetes secret in the example manifest
• Only allow whitelisted users to run kubectl commands
• More sane error handling (i.e. don't allow users to use -f flag for logs, and other stuff)
• Better handling of large outputs. I.e. only print the last N lines, or post it as a snippet.
