Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Install community node by search name @chaosimpact/n8n-nodes-k8s.

Supported Operations:

• Run Pod: Execute a temporary Pod and capture its output. Useful for running one-off commands or scripts within your cluster.
• Run Job: Create and run a Kubernetes Job, then retrieve its output. Ideal for batch processing tasks.
• Trigger CronJob: Manually trigger an existing CronJob, optionally overriding its command, arguments, or environment variables. This creates a new Job instance from the CronJob.
• Patch Resource: Apply a JSON patch to any Kubernetes resource to update its configuration dynamically.
• Get Resource: Retrieve the details of a specific Kubernetes resource (e.g., Pod, Deployment, Service) by its API version, kind, name, and namespace.
• List Resources: List all Kubernetes resources of a specific kind within a given API version and namespace.
• Wait Resource: Pause workflow execution until a specified Kubernetes resource reaches a desired condition (e.g., "Ready", "Complete", "Succeeded", "Failed").
• Get Logs: Fetch logs from a specific container within a Pod, with options to follow logs, tail lines, or filter by time.

Credentials

Currently supports two types of credentials.

• Service account
• Kubeconfig

Service account (Recommended)

If your n8n instance is running inside a Kubernetes cluster, a service account is the best way to communicate between n8n and Kubernetes.

Example role:

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: n8n-clusterrole
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - pods
  - jobs
  - cronjobs
  - deployments
  - statefulsets
  verbs:
  - get
  - list
  - watch
  - create
  - update
  - patch
  - delete

Usage

First create Credentials. If you are using Service account, choose Load from Automatic. If using Kubeconfig, please fill path or paste to Content box.

Then go to the workflow page and create a new step by searching for Kubernetes.
