Goal

Create a hybrid application that can help in the management of Kubernetes based resources, including Helm charts.

About

In the kubernetes world Go is a first class language and is tightly coupled with it, therefore it was an obvious pick. But, in order to make it available on multiple platforms a web-based framework was the imminent solution, thus Svelte was the choice for the frontend.

Installation and usage

The instalation notes for the pre-built binaries and Helm chart can be accessed at https://kubeflame.github.io/#install-notes

Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Using it locally on a desktop or laptop

The application can be started locally from a binary file, and you can connect to a cluster by providing a kubeconfig location or an access token along with the master URL. Then you will need to access the web interface on the configured port -- http://localhost:3001 by default.

$ lutho start (and provide the connection details in the interface)

$ lutho start --port 1337 --kubeconfig /some/location/config

Scenario 2: Inside a Kubernetes cluster

The application is configured and deployed using a Helm chart and the interface is accessed using the configured ingress path. (i.e. - http://mycluster.io/lutho/)

In this scenario you can also constrain the access using RBAC and add another layer of security by protecting the ingress using a tool like OAuth2 Proxy.

Building it from source

Requirements

• go
• nodejs (yarn)

One line command to execute

go generate ./... && go build -ldflags="-s -w -X 'main.AppVersion=<provide-a-version>'"

Starting the application

./lutho -h

NAME:
   lutho - Manage Kubernetes based resources in a different way

USAGE:
   lutho [global options] command [command options]

VERSION:
   dev

AUTHOR:
   KubeFlame <https://github.com/kubeflame>

COMMANDS:
   start  Starts the application

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --help, -h     show help
   --version, -v  print the version

There are some start options available for providing the kubernetes configuration

./lutho start -h

NAME:
   lutho start - Starts the application

USAGE:
   lutho start [command options]

DESCRIPTION:
   This command will start the application

OPTIONS:
   --port value          the port where the UI can be accessed at (default: "3001")
   --kubeconfig value    kubeconfig file path (default: "/Users/alex/.kube/config")
   --access-token value  kubernetes cluster access token
   --master-url value    kubernetes master URL
   --in-cluster          set this flag if the app is inside the kubernetes cluster (default: false)
   --help, -h            show help

Once the application is started lutho start <options>, by default it is available at localhost:3001.
