Getting your dev environment to the front lines

It's great to have a consistent environment in containers, and it's great to have services run on Kubernetes, but it's a pain to build dev containers to be run as pods on Kubernetes.

It would be great if your live development working directory could be mounted into a running pod on the powerful metal in the cloud. Plus, it would obviate the need for workaround services such as (localhost.dev or something?) to share a running WIP instance as it would have a valid service on the dev cluster, ingressable and everything.

Kubelwagen is a sidecar container that provides a FUSE directory to the running pod that is mounted in from a client connecting in over HTTP.

Setting it up

kubelwagen serve [LISTEN HOSTPORT] [TARGET DIRECTORY]
kubelwagen connect [TARGET ADDRESS] [SOURCE DIRECTORY]
