Toolbox Image

I use this image to troubleshoot Kubernetes. The image has the following tools:

• git
• kubectl
• tcpdump
• nmap
• dig
• socat
• aws-cli
• curl
• bcc
• bpftrace
• and etc.

An example pod spec is in toolbox.yaml.

bpftrace

To run bpftrace:

docker run --rm -it --privileged -v /sys:/sys mechpen/toolbox /bin/bash

bcc

To run bcc:

docker run --rm -it --privileged -v /sys:/sys -v /dev:/dev -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /usr/src:/usr/src mechpen/toolbox /bin/bash

The docker commands can be replaced with a k8s pod with the privileged security context and the necessary volume mounts.
