Capacitor Next is a local-first Kubernetes client that uses your kubeconfig to access your clusters.
- A single binary distribution - like docker or terraform.
- With a built-in webserver.
- A browser tab opens when you start it.
- Like k9s, but in the browser.
- Like the ArgoCD UI, but for FluxCD.
(you can also run it on a URL for your team)
https://gimlet.io/capacitor-next/docs/#quickstart
- Kubernetes resource discovery
- Respects RBAC
- Multi-cluster
- Keyboard navigation
- Built-in and custom views
- Helm history
- Helm values and manifest diffing
- Flux resource tree
- Flux Kustomization diffing between cluster and git state
FluxCD is an amazing backend for all things gitops.
It is a shame that ArgoCD gained so much traction mostly because developers appreciate the UI. Rolling out a read-only ArgoCD UI made Argo the de-facto kubernetes dashboard, where people look at logs and various kubernetes resources.
Capacitor's goal is to level the field: providing a UI option for Flux users that matches or exceeds the level of ArgoCD.
Capacitor Next is a tool you can run on your laptop.
- Are you looking to host it for your team on a URL?
- Or integrate with Backstage?
