Synopsis#

maqpna context set NAME [--gateway URL] [--identity URL] [--attest URL] [--kube-context C] [--kubeconfig F]
                        [--namespace NS] [--operator-namespace NS] [--oidc-token-file F] [--use]

Description#

From the help of maqpna context:

Contexts are stored in $MAQPNA_CONFIG (default ~/.config/maqpna/config.yaml). The config file holds no secrets: tokens from maqpna login are stored per context in tokens/<NAME>.json next to it with mode 0600. Select a context per invocation with --context NAME or MAQPNA_CONTEXT.

What happens when you run it#

  • Uses the Kubernetes API of your kubeconfig (--kubeconfig, --kube-context, or the current context).
  • Talks to the gateway: --gateway, else MAQPNA_GATEWAY_URL, else the current context's gateway (maqpna context).
  • Authenticates to the admin API with the token stored by maqpna login, --oidc-token-file, or a static --token (MAQPNA_ADMIN_TOKEN).
  • Prints a table by default; -o json or -o yaml print the data, and --jq EXPR filters the JSON.
