Running CLI commands Kubernetes environment

Consul

Hello,
I’ve installed Consul on Kubernetes environment.

$ k get all -n consul

Where/how/which interface can I use cli commands in this environment? Is there any Consul client cli or something like that to connect/administrate Consul?

Thanks&Regards

consul server, agent, cli are all the same executable. It acts differently based on the parameters you pass to it. So inside of your 2 servers and 2 data nodes you have the consul cli already (it’s the same one that is running the service).

Any of them will accept a cli connection and respond. The only distinction you have make is when registering a service – I imagine there is an automated service registery with kubernetes that you have to configure.

Hi @tirelibirefe,

I replied to your GitHub issue with more information on how you can run Consul CLI commands when the servers are on Kubernetes. See https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-k8s/issues/1179#issuecomment-1105639302 for more details.

You’re welcome to continue to discussion here, or on that issue. Whichever you prefer.
