About:
cdebug is a versatile CLI tool designed to simplify the debugging of containers and Kubernetes pods. It provides a unified interface to easily execute ephemeral debug containers with common diagnostic tools. The tool acts as a smart wrapper, abstracting away the complexities of kubectl exec and docker exec for faster troubleshooting.
|
Key Features:
- Unified CLI for Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes
- One-command access to debug shells with pre-installed tools
- Supports ephemeral containers for debugging distroless images
- Simplifies network namespace troubleshooting
|
Use Cases:
- Troubleshooting distroless or minimal containers missing shell utilities
- Diagnosing network connectivity issues within a pod's namespace
- Quickly inspecting filesystem state without modifying running images
|
Alternatives:
-
kubectl debug
– Native k8s solution; cdebug provides a more concise syntax and multi-runtime support.
-
dlv / gdb
– Debuggers for code; cdebug focuses on OS-level and environment debugging.
