Using a static token file in Minikube
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
A [static token file](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#static-token-file) can be used to ensure only authenticated users access the API server. As minikube nodes are run in VMs/containers, this adds a complication to ensuring this token file is accessable to the node. This tutorial explains how to configure a static token file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tutorial
|
||||
|
||||
This must be done before creating the minikube cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# Create the folder that will be copied into the control plane.
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.minikube/files/etc/ca-certificates/
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy the token file into the folder.
|
||||
cp token.csv ~/.minikube/files/etc/ca-certificates/token.csv
|
||||
|
||||
# Start minikube with the token auth file specified.
|
||||
minikube start \
|
||||
--extra-config=apiserver.token-auth-file=/etc/ca-certificates/token.csv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Placing files in `~/.minikube/files/` automatically copies them to the specified path in each minikube node. This means once we call `minikube start`, it is able to access the token file since it is locally present in the node.
