How do I ssh into the traefik container ?

I tried:

  • kubectl exec -it POD_NAME bash
  • kubectl exec -it POD_NAME sh
  • kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- '/bin/bash/
  • kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- '/bin/sh/

Even kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- 'ls' doesn't work.

Okay, that also seems to be the case with (at least) the latest K3s release with Traefik. One cannot bash into the pod. Question then: how would one then add a new entrypoint (e.g. a TCP), if you cannot apply the CLI commands? Deinstall Traefik and apply the alpine-based image?
