Useful OpenShift Commands

UP

  1. Log in:

        oc login -u <username>:<password>

  2. List the projects:

        oc projects

  3. Create a project:

        oadm new-project <project name> --description="<project description>"

  4. gets current project:

        oc project

  5. sets current project:

        oc project <project name>

  6. lists pods in current project:

        oc get pods

  7. describe a pod:

        oc describe pod <a pod name from command 5>

  8. cat log from a pod:

        oc logs <a pod name from command 5>

  9. list nodes:

        oc get nodes

  10. delete a node:

        oc delete <node name>

  11. Move the project over to a different region - also can be used to determine the region a project is currently running in.

     oc edit dc/[project name]

    Either add or edit

        spec:
      template:
          spec:
              nodeSelector:
                  region: [region name]

    Redeploy the project:

        oc -n default rollout latest docker-registry

So far the only time we have had to do this is to move the docker-registry from the default region to the infra region.

Notes

On project creation:

  • oadm new-project uses the default template
  • oc new-project and “Create New Project” (from the GUI) will allow the specification of one project template
  • Cluster admins can use: oc process ... | oc create -f ... (This is still a bit of a research project - haven’t used this yet).
