Example: kubectl proxy {{[-p|--port]}} {{port}} {{[-w|--www]}} {{path/to/static_dir}}

kubectl proxy --api-prefix /custom_prefix/

Serve the Kubernetes API on a specific port while also serving static content

kubectl proxy [-p|--port] port [-w|--www] path/to/static_dir

kubectl proxy [-p|--port] 0

Run the proxy on a Unix domain socket instead of a TCP port

kubectl proxy --address 0.0.0.0 --accept-hosts '.*'

kubectl proxy --accept-paths '^/api/v1/namespaces/default/.*' --reject-paths '^/api/.*/pods/.*/exec'
