I am trying to access my Kubernetes cluster on google cloud with the service account, but I am not able to make this works. I have a running system with some pods and ingress. I want to be able to update images of deployments.
I would like to use something like this (remotely):
kubectl config set-cluster cluster --server="<IP>" --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true
kubectl config set-credentials foo --token="<TOKEN>"
kubectl config set-context my-context --cluster=cluster --user=foo --namespace=default
kubectl config use-context cluster
kubectl set image deployment/my-deployment boo=eu.gcr.io/project-123456/image:v1
So I created the service account and then get the secret token:
kubectl create serviceaccount foo
kubectl get secret foo-token-gqvgn -o yaml
But, when I try to update the image in any deployment, I receive:
error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)
IP address for API I use the address, which is shown in GKE administration as cluster endpoint IP. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I have tried to recreate your problem.
Steps I have followed
kubectl create serviceaccount foo
kubectl get secret foo-token-* -o yaml
Then, I have tried to do what you have done
What I have used as token is base64
decoded Token.
Then I tried this:
$ kubectl get pods
Error from server (Forbidden): pods is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:default:foo" cannot list pods in the namespace "default": Unknown user "system:serviceaccount:default:foo"
This gave me error as expected. Because, I need to grant permission to this ServiceAccount.
How can I grant permission to this ServiceAccount? I need to create ClusterRole & ClusterRoleBinding with necessary permission.

$ kubectl config set-credentials foo --username="admin" --password="$PASSWORD"
This will grant you admin authorization.
You need to provide cluster credential.
Username: admin
Password: -----
You will get this info in GKE -> Kubernetes Engine -> {cluster} -> Show credential
