Use an openshift client debug option
Red Hat® OpenShift® is an enterprise-ready Kubernetes container platform built for an open hybrid cloud strategy. It provides a consistent application platform to manage hybrid cloud, multicloud, and edge deployments.
If you want to run commands on an Openshift node (A master or a worker), you can use the Openshift client debug command.
First, we list our nodes
$ oc get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
ostest-s4dr6-master-0 Ready master 36m v1.23.5+3afdacb
ostest-s4dr6-master-1 Ready master 36m v1.23.5+3afdacb
ostest-s4dr6-master-2 Ready master 36m v1.23.5+3afdacb
ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-gxcs4 Ready worker 13m v1.23.5+3afdacb
ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-vb6n9 Ready worker 13m v1.23.5+3afdacb
ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-wvwrt Ready worker 13m v1.23.5+3afdacb
Now we can open an interactive session on one of the nodes:
$ oc debug node/ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-gxcs4
Starting pod/ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-gxcs4-debug ...
To use host binaries, run `chroot /host`
Pod IP: 172.16.0.95
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
sh-4.4# chroot /host
sh-4.4# touch /tmp/2
We can run a specific command:
$ oc debug -q node/ostest-s4dr6-worker-0-gxcs4 -- chroot /host sudo chronyc tracking
