Introduction

To run the Kubetail CLI tool (kubetail) inside a container you can use the kubetail-cli docker image. The image is published to Docker Hub and the GitHub Container Registry on every release:

Registry	Image
Docker Hub	kubetail/kubetail-cli
GHCR	ghcr.io/kubetail-org/kubetail-cli

Two variants are available:

Tag suffix	Base image	Description
(none)	scratch	Minimal image, smallest footprint
-alpine	alpine	Includes a shell and standard utilities

Running kubetail inside docker lets you integrate Kubetail into your local docker development workflows and also allows you to debug your logs from inside your cluster.

Tip

Here are some common ways to run kubetail inside docker:

• Docker Run
