:battery: Install
🐳 Docker
docker run -p 7080:7080 -v kubewall:/.kubewall ghcr.io/kubewall/kubewall:latest
> 💡 To access local kind cluster you can use "--network host" docker flag.
Manually
📂 Download the pre-compiled binaries from the Release! page and copy them to the desired location or system path.
> [!TIP]
> After installation, you can access kubewall at http://localhost:7080
>
> If you're running it in a Kubernetes cluster or on an on-premises server, we recommend using HTTPS.
> When not used over HTTP/2 SSE suffers from a limitation to the maximum number of open connections. Mozilla⤴
>
> You can start kubewall with HTTPS using the following command:
>

completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
help Help about any command
version Print the version of kubewall
Flags:
--certFile string absolute path to certificate file
-h, --help help for kubewall
--k8s-client-burst int Maximum burst for throttle (default 200)
--k8s-client-qps int maximum QPS to the master from client (default 100)
--keyFile string absolute path to key file
-l, --listen string IP and port to listen on (e.g., 127.0.0.1:7080 or :7080) (default "127.0.0.1:7080")
--no-open-browser Do not open the default browser
🔐 Setting up HTTPS locally
You can use your own certificates or create new local trusted certificates using mkcert⤴.
> [!Important]
> You'll need to install mkcert⤴ separately.
Install mkcert on your computer.
Run the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
mkcert kubewall.test localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
This command will generate two files: a certificate file and a key file (the key file will have -key.pem at the end of its name).
To use these files with kubewall, use --certFile= and --keyFile= flags.
