Features

• Dynamic Service Discovery: Automatically discover services running in a Kubernetes cluster and update your YAML configuration files accordingly.
• Port Forwarding: Port forward Kubernetes services to your local machine for development and testing purposes.
• Custom Mappings: Use custom mappings to handle services with different names locally and in Kubernetes.
• Exclusion of Files: Specify paths to exclude from YAML updates.
• Setup Utility: Configure your environment with a simple setup command.

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or later
• kubectl installed and configured
• Access to a Kubernetes cluster
• uv

With Mapping

If you have predefined mappings:

python main.py --map service1=localhost:8080,service2=localhost:8081

Options

• -r, --root: Root directory to search YAML files.
• -e, --exclude: Comma-separated list of paths to exclude.
• -m, --map: Comma-separated service=host:port pairs.
• -n, --namespace: Kubernetes namespace to discover services.
• -v, --services: Comma-separated list of service names to port forward.
• -f, --mapping-file: Path to JSON file with service mappings.
• -s, --setup: Run setup to configure KUBECONFIG.

Configuration

Service Mappings

Create a service_mappings.json file to map local service names to Kubernetes service names:

{
    "local-service-a-name": "kubernetes-service-a-name",
    "local-service-b-name": "kubernetes-service-b-name"
}

Exclusion Paths

Use the --exclude option to specify paths in the root directory that should be excluded from updates.
