#Getting into containers: kubectl exec
|
||
Developers can use `kubectl exec` to run commands in a container. This guide demonstrates two use cases.
|
||
|
||
## Using kubectl exec to check the environment variables of a container
|
||
|
||
Kubernetes exposes [services](services.md#environment-variables) through environment variables. It is convenient to check these environment variables using `kubectl exec`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
We first create a pod and a service,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl create -f examples/guestbook/redis-master-controller.yaml
|
||
$ kubectl create -f examples/guestbook/redis-master-service.yaml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
wait until the pod is Running and Ready,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl get pod
|
||
NAME READY REASON RESTARTS AGE
|
||
redis-master-ft9ex 1/1 Running 0 12s
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
then we can check the environment variables of the pod,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl exec redis-master-ft9ex env
|
||
...
|
||
REDIS_MASTER_SERVICE_PORT=6379
|
||
REDIS_MASTER_SERVICE_HOST=10.0.0.219
|
||
...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
We can use these environment variables in applications to find the service.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Using kubectl exec to check the mounted volumes
|
||
|
||
It is convenient to use `kubectl exec` to check if the volumes are mounted as expected.
|
||
We first create a Pod with a volume mounted at /data/redis,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
kubectl create -f docs/user-guide/walkthrough/pod-redis.yaml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
wait until the pod is Running and Ready,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl get pods
|
||
NAME READY REASON RESTARTS AGE
|
||
storage 1/1 Running 0 1m
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
we then use `kubectl exec` to verify that the volume is mounted at /data/redis,
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl exec storage ls /data
|
||
redis
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Using kubectl exec to open a bash terminal in a pod
|
||
|
||
After all, open a terminal in a pod is the most direct way to introspect the pod. Assuming the pod/storage is still running, run
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ kubectl exec -ti storage -- bash
|
||
root@storage:/data#
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This gets you a terminal.
