4.22 Kubernetes setup hints

With the kubernetes method, containers in Kubernetes pods can be accessed. The host name is a pod name returned by ‘kubectl get pods’, or ‘container.pod’ if an explicit container name shall be used. Otherwise, the first container in a pod is used.

Sometimes, asynchronous processes for a host without a dedicated container name show a warning like ‘Defaulted container "container1" out of: container1, container2’. This can be mitigated by setting the pod annotation ‘kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-container’ to a proper value (‘container1’ in this example).

TRAMP uses the default Kubernetes context and namespace. If another context or namespace shall be used, configure the user options tramp-kubernetes-context and tramp-kubernetes-namespace.
