I'm curious how this goes for you. I run all my machines on NixOS except my k8s cluster which is Talos for now. I have been thinking of switching to Nix for that too.
I followed along the nixos wiki for kubernetes and creating the "master" kublet is super easy when you set easyCerts = true. Problem is, it spits out files to /var/lib/kubernetes/secrets/ that is owned by root. Specifically, the cluster-admin.pem file. If I want to push commands to the cluster using kubectl I have to elevate to a root shell. I could just chmod or chown the file but that seems like a security risk.
Now I'm not familiar with k8s at all. This is my first go through, so I could be doing something wrong or missing a step. I saw something about the role based security but I haven't jumped down that rabbit hole yet. Any tips for running kubectl without root?
