Manage Clients

The Jumpstarter CLI can be used to manage your client configurations.

Creating a Client Config

To create a new client config, run the following command:

$ jumpstarter client create my-client

Automatic Provisioning

If you have Kubectl installed on your system and the current context contains an installation of the Jumpstarter service, the CLI will attempt to use your admin credentials to provision the client automatically.

You can also use the following options to specify kubeconfig and context to use:

• --kubeconfig - Set the location of your kubeconfig file.

• --context - The context to use (default is the current-context).

• --namespace - The namespace to search in (default is jumpstarter-lab)

This creates a client a new client named my-client and outputs the configuration to a YAML file called my-client.yaml:

client:
    name: my-client
    endpoint: "grpcs://jumpstarter.my-lab.com:1443"
    token: dGhpc2lzYXRva2VuLTEyMzQxMjM0MTIzNEyMzQtc2Rxd3Jxd2VycXdlcnF3ZXJxd2VyLTEyMzQxMjM0MTIz

Manual Provisioning

If you do not have Kubectl installed or don’t have direct access to the cluster, a client can also be provisioned manually on a different machine.

1. Apply the YAML to your cluster:

   # my-client.yaml
   apiVersion: jumpstarter.dev/v1alpha1
   kind: Client
   metadata:
   name: my-client
   

   $ kubectl apply -f my-client.yaml
   

2. Get the created client resource:

   $ kubectl get client my-client
   ...
   

3. Create the client config manually:

   $ jmp client create --manual
   Enter a valid Jumpstarter service endpoint: devl.jumpstarter.dev
   Enter a Jumpstarter auth token (hidden): ***
   Enter a comma-separated list of allowed driver packages (optional):
