A helm plugin that uses impersonating to execute helm-commands on clusters within the admin context.

Installation

Install the plugin using the built-in plugin manager (see releases for latest version):

# Installs latest commit
helm plugin install https://github.com/cloudogu/helm-sudo
Installs deterministic version
helm plugin install  https://github.com/cloudogu/helm-sudo --version=0.0.2

Usage

Its usage is pretty simple, just use "sudo" on your helm commands like so:

helm sudo list

what the plugin does is, it adds the --kube-as-user and --kube-as-group flags with your user ($USER) and system:masters group to the given helm command.

So the plugin executes the following:

helm --kube-as-user $USER --kube-as-group system:masters list

Flags will just be passed along to the command you are calling.

CAUTION: Due to the usage of this plugin, you will execute the helm command as admin on your cluster!

Syntax completion works with helm version 3.8.0 and up.

Configuration

| ENV_VAR | Default | Description | |--- |--- |--- | |HELMSUDOPROMPT| false | If set to true you will be prompted to acknowledge the usage of the helm-command on the current context as admin |
