-# DRONE Kubernetes
+# Drone Kubernetes
 This drone kubernetes plugin does the equivalent of: 
 
 ```
-kubectl set image deploy/nginx-deployment nginx=nginx:sometag
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
 ```
 
+It is assumed the deployment is already created as it simply runs an update.  No error checking is there to see if it exists yet, so make sure it already exists!  
+
+The advantages of this plugin is that the ```deployment.yaml``` file can be a template file.  We are able to substitute values like ```{{ build.number }}``` inside the file so you can update docker image names. 
+
+Basic example: 
+
 ```yaml
 pipeline:
   kube:
     template: deployment.yaml
 ```
+
+Example configuration with non-default namespace:
+
+```diff
+pipeline:
+  kube:
+    template: deployment.yaml
++   namespace: mynamespace
+```
+
 ## Secrets
-The kube
+
+The kube plugin supports reading credentials from the Drone secret store.  This is strongly recommended instead of storing credentials in the pipeline configuration in plain text.  
+
+The following secrets should be set: 
+
+__KUBE_TOKEN__  This plugin has one authentication method and that is to use the token to authorize the user.
+
+__KUBE_CA__ This should be the base64 encoding of your certificate authority.  You can get this string by running the command:  
+
+```
+export KUBE_CA=$(cat ca.pem | base64)
+``` 
+
+__KUBE_SERVER__ This is the server url for your kubernetes cluster.  e.g: https://10.99.2.1:6443
+
+
+## Template Reference
+
+You can substitute the following values between ```{{ }}``` in your deployment template 
+
+repo.owner
+: repository owner
+
+repo.name
+: repository name
+
+build.status
+: build status type enumeration, either `success` or `failure`
+
+build.event
+: build event type enumeration, one of `push`, `pull_request`, `tag`, `deployment`
+
+build.number
+: build number
+
+build.commit
+: git sha for current commit
+
+build.branch
+: git branch for current commit
+
+build.tag
+: git tag for current commit
+
+build.ref
+: git ref for current commit
+
+build.author
+: git author for current commit
+
+build.link
+: link the the build results in drone
+
+build.created
+: unix timestamp for build creation
+
+build.started
+: unix timestamp for build started
+
+# Template Function Reference
+
+uppercasefirst
+: converts the first letter of a string to uppercase
+
+uppercase
+: converts a string to uppercase
+
+lowercase

+
+datetime
+: converts a unix timestamp to a date time string. Example `{{datetime build.started}}`
+
+success
+: returns true if the build is successful
+
+failure
+: returns true if the build is failed
+
+truncate
+: returns a truncated string to n characters. Example `{{truncate build.sha 8}}`
+
+urlencode
+: returns a url encoded string
+
+since
+: returns a duration string between now and the given timestamp. Example `{{since build.started}}`
