Kubeiql
A GraphQL interface for Kubernetes.
The goal of this project is to provide an alternative GraphQL interface to a Kubernetes cluster. It is not intended to entirely replace the ReST APIs as some of them (particularly the watch APIs) don't map well onto GraphQL.
Yipee.io is a CA, Inc. Accelerator project.
Current Status
pre-alpha
- Queries are currently supported against Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets, and DaemonSets.
- No mutations are yet implemented.
- The retrieval of data from the cluster is accomplished via watchers
on the kubernetes API. By default, we expect to access the API at
localhost port 8080 (run "kubectl proxy --port=8080")
- to access a kubernetes API without using the proxy, you can set
environment variables:
- API_HOST: host/port of API, e.g., https://kubernetes.default.svc from inside a cluster
- API_SECRET_PATH: directory containing files 'ca.crt' and 'token', e.g. /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount from a pod inside a cluster
- to access a kubernetes API without using the proxy, you can set
environment variables:
- Tests are lacking
- See https://hub.docker.com/r/yipeeio/kubeiql/ for a docker image
Getting Started
To experiment with the API:
- Download the code
- Type <code>sh gobuild.sh</code>
- Start a proxy for the kubernetes API on port 8080 (e.g., kubectl proxy --port=8080)
- Run ./kubeiql
The server runs at port 8128. You can use curl to play with it as shown in the examples below via the /query endpoint, or point your browser at 'localhost:8128/' and experiment with the GraphiQL tool (much more user-friendly).
Build an image
If you're running on a non-linux machine, use the elf-build.sh script to build an image suitable for use in a docker container. Then just build in the usual way:
docker build -t your-image-name .
Running inside a Kubernetes cluster
To run kubeiql inside a cluster, simply apply the k8sdeploy.yaml file:
kubectl apply -f k8sdeploy.yaml
Examples
The query:
{
daemonSetByName(namespace: "kube-system", name: "kube-proxy") {
metadata {name namespace labels {name value}}
}
}
returns:
{
"data": {
"daemonSetByName": {
"metadata": {
"name": "kube-proxy",
"namespace": "kube-system",
"labels": [
{
"name": "k8s-app",
"value": "kube-proxy"
}
]
},
"pods": [
{
"metadata": {
"name": "kube-proxy-7vhx5"
}
}
]
}
}
}
and the query:
{
allPods() {
owner {kind metadata {name}}
rootOwner { kind metadata { name namespace }
... on StatefulSet {
metadata { name }
}
... on Deployment {
replicaSets {
metadata { name }
pods { metadata { name } } }
}
}
}
}
returns:
