A kubectl plugin that lets you run a new debugging container inside a running Kubernetes pod, joining its pid, network, user, and ipc namespaces. This lets you use arbitrary troubleshooting tools without installing them in the production container image.
Use cases
- debug a running kubernetes pod without installing tools in the image
- run an ephemeral troubleshooting container in a pod
- inspect network and processes inside a production container
- troubleshoot distroless or minimal containers
- attach a debug shell to a crashing pod
When to choose
- you need to debug running pods on older Kubernetes clusters lacking native ephemeral container support
- you want a kubectl plugin workflow for interactive pod troubleshooting
When to avoid
- you are on a maintained setup - this repo is deprecated and unmaintained; use JamesTGrant/kubectl-debug or kubectl debug built into Kubernetes
- you only need modern Kubernetes ephemeral containers via kubectl debug
