Summary

We may need to view or change configuration settings quickly (KOTS admin console). For example, we could back up the admin console settings and use them in a new installation/migration.

Solution

1. View the config
   kubectl kots get config jama-k8s -n default
2. Save the config
   kubectl kots get config jama-k8s -n default > copy_of_your_config.yaml
3. Edit the config
   vi copy_of_your_config.yaml
4. Apply the edited config
   kubectl kots set config jama-k8s -n default --config-file /path/to/copy_of_your_config.yaml

Notes

In later versions (9.6.x), you can specify that you want the currently deployed sequence.
kubectl kots get config jama-k8s -n default --current 

You may also find it useful to decrypt the passwords
kubectl kots get config jama-k8s -n default --decrypt

You can specify a specific sequence number if you don't want the currently deployed version.
kubectl kots get config jama-k8s -n default --sequence=4
