admin-console generate-manifests
Running this command will create a directory on the workstation containing the Replicated admin console manifests. These assets can be used to deploy KOTS to a cluster through other workflows, such as kubectl, to provide additional customization of the admin console before deploying.
Limitations
generate-manifests does not support generating manifests for Red Hat OpenShift clusters or GKE Autopilot clusters if executed without a Kubernetes cluster context.
To upgrade a KOTS instance that has ever been on version 1.72.0 or earlier, you must run generate-manifests with a Kubernetes cluster context.
