To start k9s with snap on Ubuntu 18.04 I had to manually create ~/.k9s and run it with k9s --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config

This worked for me. Is there a way of embedding that config into k9s so that we don’t have to type it every time?

Ah, too bad @derailed, thanks for explanation! Will try installation from source. Update: edge installation worked snap install k9s --edge --devmode as mentioned https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/166#issuecomment-485059530

Anyhow /home/anita/.kube/config is owned by same user as k9s and permissions seam legit… maybe someone experienced same?

@roflmao @lukaszo @joskfg - the interaction with the snap folks is taking forever. Think you should give LinuxBrew install instead. Can you give 0.7.13 a rinse? Thank so very much for all your reports!

@roflmao Thank you for sending this! Could you do me a favor and try the following provided you’re using a std kuconfig setup. Thank you!!

export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config
k9s -l debug
