Red Hat build of MicroShift

Access the MicroShift node locally

Use the following procedure to access the MicroShift node locally by using a kubeconfig file.

Prerequisites

You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

Optional: to create a ~/.kube/ folder if your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) machine does not have one, run the following command:
```
$ mkdir -p ~/.kube/
```
Copy the generated local access kubeconfig file to the ~/.kube/ directory by running the following command:
```
$ sudo cat /var/lib/microshift/resources/kubeadmin/kubeconfig > ~/.kube/config
```
Update the permissions on your ~/.kube/config file by running the following command:
```
$ chmod go-r ~/.kube/config
```

Verification

Verify that MicroShift is running by entering the following command:

$ oc get pods -A
