Compose Bridge is an Experimental product.

Compose Bridge can also function as a kubectl plugin, allowing you to integrate its capabilities directly into your Kubernetes command-line operations. This integration simplifies the process of converting and deploying applications from Docker Compose to Kubernetes.

Use compose-bridge as a kubectl plugin

To use the compose-bridge binary as a kubectl plugin, you need to make sure that the binary is available in your PATH and the name of the binary is prefixed with kubectl-.

  1. Rename or copy the compose-bridge binary to kubectl-compose_bridge:

    $ mv /path/to/compose-bridge /usr/local/bin/kubectl-compose_bridge

  2. Ensure that the binary is executable:

    $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-compose_bridge

  3. Verify that the plugin is recognized by kubectl:

    $ kubectl plugin list

    In the output, you should see kubectl-compose_bridge.

  4. Now you can use compose-bridge as a kubectl plugin:

    $ kubectl compose-bridge [command]

Replace [command] with any compose-bridge command you want to use.
