# Authentication
# Getting started
This template features two ways to authenticate to a Kubernetes cluster.
## RBAC
## kubeconfig (Coder host)
The Coder provisioner requires permission to administer pods to use this template. The template
creates workspaces in a single Kubernetes namespace, using the `workspaces_namespace` parameter set
while creating the template.
Create a role as follows and bind it to the user or service account that runs the coder host.
```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: coder
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["*"]
```
## Authentication
This template can authenticate using in-cluster authentication, or using a kubeconfig local to the
Coder host. For additional authentication options, consult the [Kubernetes provider
documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/kubernetes/latest/docs).
### kubeconfig on Coder host
If the Coder host has a local `~/.kube/config`, you can use this to authenticate
with Coder. Make sure this is done with same user that's running the `coder` service.
## ServiceAccount
To use this authentication, set the parameter `use_kubeconfig` to true.
Create a ServiceAccount and role on your cluster to authenticate your template with Coder.
### In-cluster authentication
1. Run the following command on a device with Kubernetes context:
If the Coder host runs in a Pod on the same Kubernetes cluster as you are creating workspaces in,
you can use in-cluster authentication.
```sh
CODER_NAMESPACE=default
kubectl apply -n $CODER_NAMESPACE -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
To use this authentication, set the parameter `use_kubeconfig` to false.
The Terraform provisioner will automatically use the service account associated with the pod to
authenticate to Kubernetes. Be sure to bind a [role with appropriate permission](#rbac) to the
service account. For example, assuming the Coder host runs in the same namespace as you intend
to create workspaces:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: coder
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: coder
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: coder

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: coder
rules:
- apiGroups: ["", "apps", "networking.k8s.io"] # "" indicates the core API group
resources: ["persistentvolumeclaims", "pods", "deployments", "services", "secrets", "pods/exec","pods/log", "events", "networkpolicies", "serviceaccounts"]
verbs: ["create", "get", "list", "watch", "update", "patch", "delete", "deletecollection"]
- apiGroups: ["metrics.k8s.io", "storage.k8s.io"]
resources: ["pods", "storageclasses"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: coder
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: coder
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: coder
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
EOF
```
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: coder
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
```
1. Use the following commands to fetch the values:
Then start the Coder host with `serviceAccountName: coder` in the pod spec.
**Cluster IP:**
```sh
kubectl cluster-info | grep "control plane"
```
**CA certificate**
```sh
kubectl get secrets -n $CODER_NAMESPACE -o jsonpath="{.items[?(@.metadata.annotations['kubernetes\.io/service-account\.name']=='coder')].data['ca\.crt']}{'\n'}"
```
**Token**
```sh
kubectl get secrets -n $CODER_NAMESPACE -o jsonpath="{.items[?(@.metadata.annotations['kubernetes\.io/service-account\.name']=='coder')].data['token']}{'\n'}"
```
**Namespace**
This should be the same as `$CODER_NAMESPACE`, set in step 1.
