A Kubernetes web UI that is fully-featured, user-friendly and extensible.
Headlamp: A Comprehensive Kubernetes Web UI
Headlamp is a fully-featured, user-friendly, and extensible Kubernetes web interface designed to simplify the management and monitoring of clusters. It offers a seamless experience for users by combining traditional dashboard functionalities with advanced features.
Key Features:
Multi-cluster Management: Efficiently handle multiple environments from a single interface.
Extensibility via Plugins: Customize your workflow with plugins tailored to specific needs.
Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): Ensure secure access and permissions management.
Modern UI with Interactive Operations: Intuitive design enhances user experience, making resource management more efficient.
> NOTICE: We have recently moved the project under the Kubernetes SIG UI (and the repo under the kubernetes-sigs org). Container images are still at ghcr.io. Please bear with us while we may experience some broken links.
Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes web UI.
Headlamp was created to blend the traditional feature set of other web UIs/dashboards
(i.e., to list and view resources) with added functionality.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for Kubernetes administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers, Headlamp streamlines cluster management by providing a unified dashboard. It simplifies resource monitoring and operations, allowing users to focus on their tasks without needing additional tools.
Installation:
Headlamp can be easily installed via winget, ensuring quick setup and integration into your environment.
This description is crafted to highlight the essential aspects of Headlamp, focusing on its benefits and features without unnecessary embellishments.
If you have a kubeconfig already, you can quickly try Headlamp locally as a
desktop application
for Linux,
Mac,
or Windows.
Make sure you have a kubeconfig file set up with your favorite clusters and
in the default path so Headlamp can use it.
Accessing
Headlamp uses RBAC for checking
users' access to resources. If you try Headlamp with a token that has very limited
permissions, you may not be able to view your cluster resources correctly.
We maintain a list of the Kubernetes platforms we have
tested Headlamp with. We invite you to add any missing platforms you have
tested, or comment if there are any regressions in the existing ones.
If you are interested in the direction of the project, we maintain a
Roadmap. It has the
biggest changes planned so far, as well as a board tracking each release.
