Abandoned?

[Belly-Buster]

I've used this image for years but the latest version (v1.25.4) is a few years old now and way behind the current v1.32.4.

Is there a similar library where we can just grab a kubectl binary? Is there an active fork that people are now using?

I've worked around it by grabbing the binary directly from the download site. This might help others.

FROM debian:bookworm-slim

ARG KUBECTL_VERSION="v1.32.4"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
RUN curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/${KUBECTL_VERSION}/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" \
    && chmod +x kubectl \
    && mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

(or older versions)

FROM debian:bookworm-slim

ARG KUBECTL_VERSION="v1.28.3"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
RUN curl -LO "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/${KUBECTL_VERSION}/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" \
    && chmod +x kubectl \
    && mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/
