I run this command go get an interactive shell inside a pod in kubernetes:
kubectl run my-shell --generator=run-pod/v1 --rm -it --image alpine -- sh
That works just fine, but often I do run one more command in the interactive shell after it's up:
apk add curl
I cannot figure out how to combine this commands so that I get an interactive shell after the curl is installed. Is it possible to do? I tried some other approaches like -c
argument to the shell, but it finishes execution after the install of curl.
Using sh -c "apk add curl && sh"
works for me:
$ kubectl run my-shell --generator=run-pod/v1 --rm -it --image alpine -- sh -c "apk add curl && sh"
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
/ # curl --version

Session ended, resume using 'kubectl attach my-shell -c my-shell -i -t' command when the pod is running
