- Under the YAML tab at the top, you'll be able to edit specific configurations.
Running commands inside a specific website
On the shown yaml, validate this is indeed the site you want to make your changes. This can be done by cross checking the "siteUrl" field ("spec" > "siteUrl"). If this includes the site you want to manage please memorize the field "metadata" > "name"
Go on the page Workloads > Pods and filter by "Running". You'll reach a page with a url such as https://drupal.cern.ch/k8s/ns/my-site/core~v1~Pod?rowFilter-pod-status=Running. Select the one that starts with the "metadata" > "name" field you memorized above. Pods names follow the naming convention "drupalsite-name-hash-hash2".
For example, for a primary drupal site is named "my-site", there will be a matching pod named "my-site-7d596b9f58-mmctx". The hashes change frequently, please don't memorize them.
Click on the pod selected and then select the Terminal tab. For example, the above leads me to https://drupal.cern.ch/k8s/ns/my-site/pods/my-site-7d596b9f58-mmctx/terminal
On the dropdown "connecting to ... nginx" select php-fpm.
You can now run any necessary commands inside. Common commands are "drush updb" to run all required updates, followed by "drush cr" to refresh caches.
