Mirror of Kubernetes Web View

Kubernetes Web View

EARLY HACK

Goals:

• handling of any API resource: both core Kubernetes and CRDs
• permalink-friendly URL paths for giving links to colleagues (e.g. to help troubleshoot)
• option to work with multiple clusters
• allow listing different resource types on the same page (e.g. deployments and CRDs with same label)
• replicate some of the common kubectl features, e.g. -l (label selector) and -L (label columns)
• simple HTML, only add JavaScript where it adds value
• pluggable links, e.g. to link to other tools based on resource properties like labels (monitoring, reports, ..)
• optional: editing resources as YAML manifests (kubectl edit)

Non-goals:

• application management
• reporting/visualization

Quickstart

This will run Kubernetes Web View locally with your existing Kubeconfig:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -u $(id -u) -v $HOME/.kube:/.kube hjacobs/kube-web-view

Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser to see the UI.

Deploying into your cluster

This will deploy a single Pod with Kubernetes Web View into your cluster:

kubectl apply -f deploy/
kubectl port-forward service/kube-web-view 8080:80

Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser to see the UI.

Running tests

Requires Python 3.7 and poetry:

make test

Building the Docker image
