kots pull
If you’d rather use kubectl or another workflow to deploy to your cluster, you can run kots pull to create a directory on your workstation with the Kots application and the Kubernetes manifests. This workflow is necessary when managing a KOTS application without the use of the admin console (kotsadm).
Usage
kubectl kots pull [upstream uri] [flags]
- Replace
[upstream-uri]with the URI for your KOTS application (required). - If the KOTS application has been packaged by Replicated Vendor, the
--license-fileflag must be provided. - Provide
