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

Installation from PyPI

Once the package is published on PyPI, you can install it using pip:

pip install service-lookup

Add to PATH

In order to be able to call service-lookup directly from any directory, you must add the Python scripts directory to your PATH environment variable.

The default location for Windows is <User_Directory>/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/<Python_Version>/Scripts.

Installation From Repository

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/iByteABit256/service-lookup.git
   cd service-lookup
   

2. Install Dependencies:

   uv sync
   

3. Add to pip modules (Optional)

   pip install .
   

4. Ensure kubectl is Installed: Make sure you have kubectl installed and configured to access your Kubernetes cluster. You should either have a .kubeconfig file or run the setup command if you're using Lens.

Usage

To use the utility, run the main script with the desired options:

Basic Command

service-lookup --root /path/to/root --namespace your-namespace --services service1,service2 --exclude path/to/exclude

Setup Environment from Kubernetes Lens

To set up your environment based on your Lens configuration, run:

service-lookup --setup

With Mappings

If you have predefined mappings:

service-lookup --root /path/to/root --map service1=localhost:8080,service2=localhost:8081 --exclude path/to/exclude

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.
