Documentation confusion with KUBELESS_CONFIG and KUBECONFIG

[cappelaere]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: Documentation BUG

What happened: Documentation mentions to export KUBELESS_CONFIG to point to remote K8s cluster configuration file. It should be KUBECONFIG instead.

hi @cappelaere,

Thanks for the issue. The parameter KUBELESS_CONFIG is actually used for a different thing. You can use that variable to use a different name for the configMap that Kubeless uses (instead of using the default name kubeless-config.

Do you have a suggestion on how you would understand better that documentation?

I am not sure I understand what that means and what KUBELESS_CONFIG is used for. May be an example could help? I am not quite there yet… sorry :(

May be we can add in that section the KUBECONFIG env and what it is used for (aka point to remote cluster configuration file such as /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf that you may have copied to your local machine to connect to that remote cluster. I did not find it in the documentation.

Thanks, Pat.

KUBELESS_CONFIG holds the name of the ConfigMap for Kubeless controller configuration.

$ kubectl get cm -n kubeless 
NAME              DATA   AGE
kubeless-config   10     3d23h

The default is kubeless-config, but you can change that name to allow multiple Kubeless instances to run on the same cluster, each one with different configurations.
