KubeAuth

An easy way to login into Kubernetes dashboard

Description

The goal of this package (the combination of npm package and browser extension) is to provide an easier way to login into Kubernetes dashboard on an Amazon EKS cluster then described on Amazon's blog.

Previously you had to manually generate and paste the token from the CLI into the "Enter token" input and then choose "Sign in".

If you are lazy like me, then most probably you find it boring as heck 🥱, so what if you could configure it once on your machine and forget about this routine 🤯? And yes, now you can do it!

Prerequisites

• Node.js v8+
• aws-cli installed & configured
• Make sure your AWS user has access to AWS EKS cluster

Installation

• npm install -g kube-auth
• kube-auth configure --browser chrome
• Open chrome://extensions/ page
• Enable developer mode
• Press "Load unpacked" and select the directory returned by a kube-auth whereis command
• Click on extension icon (browser extension bar) and fill Amazon EKS cluster information
• That's it!

Todo

• Automatic native host generation for all browsers and OS'
• Get rid of aws eks get-token CLI command by using aws-sdk (see Python example)
• Rewrite to typescript
• Use webpack for extension build
• Support Windows machines (regedit might needed)
• Use Mozilla's polyfill in order to support Chrome, Firefox, Opera & Edge
• Get rid of native-messaging library (maybe...)
• Think about installing browser extension automatically (see docs)
• Add tests
• Move host generation into separate package (after good testing)
