Getting Started

Example: use WSL with the /.kube/config file located in the Windows user's home directory

1. Update the KUBE variable in Taskfile.yml to match your path, if necessary

   the special var {{.USER}} will return the current user's name

   env:
     CLUSTER_NAME: kubepal
     KUBE: export KUBECONFIG=/mnt/c/Users/{{.USER}}/.kube/config

2. Update the backend.tf to match the path of your /.kube/config file:

    terraform {
      backend "kubernetes" {
        secret_suffix = "state"
   
        config_paths = [
          "/mnt/c/Users/devops/.kube/config",      # WSL path
          "c:\\Users\\devops\\.kube\\config"       # PowerShell path
        ]
      }
    }
