Feature Request: Redeploy pods that are created by deployments/replicasets about skooner

[herbrandson]

Thanks for the feedback @linuxshokunin! There are a couple of ways to possibly do this today.

First, the last item in the menu is "Apply" which might work for this. It's intended to be similar to kubectl apply (though I did recently realize that it's doing a PUT instead of a PATCH if the item already exists, so do be aware of that).

Second, there is an "Edit" button in the Deployments UI that will bring up your existing YAML and let you edit/save. That might be the easiest way to replicate what you're doing with the kubectl patch command.

Third, if you don't have too many pods you could try going to them one-by-one and using the "Delete" button in the UI. In this case, the Deployment will automatically start a new pod for you (which should pick up your changes I believe).

Fourth, you could try using the Deployment UI to scale the deployment down to 0 and then back up.

Would any of these work for you? Alternatively, I've been thinking about the idea of adding a "Restart" button to things like Deployments to automate this process. Would that be helpful? Is there a better way that K8Dash could achieve what you're looking for?

Hi @herbrandson

1. I need to manully edit/update the yaml file and the paste it to the bowser. It does the job I want but just one click to trigger rolling update is much simpler for me.

2. The same as first one. I need to manually edit/update yaml file.

3. I don't have many pods in dev environment yet but it will increase the number soon.

4. kubectl scale --replica=0 and then --replica=1 causes service down. So ideally I want to trigger rolling update.

I can trigger rolling update with kubectl but "Restart" (or redeploy?) button to trigger rolling update would be nice to have in dashboard.

In addition, we don't have standalone pods but other people might want to have "redeploy" button for pods as well.
e.g.
kubectl get po nginx -o yaml | kubectl replace -f - --force

The similar command above would be nice if you can trigger that in dashboard, too?

What do you think?
