AliangBoard – A K8s dashboard I built while learning
Hi everyone, While learning Kubernetes, I developed my own K8s dashboard – AliangBoard. I've been using it in my daily deployments, and it feels pretty smooth to me, so I'd love to get some feedback and suggestions from you. A quick note on permissions: The RBAC is relatively simple right now, so it's not ideal for companies with complex organizational structures. However, for independent…
AliangBoard is a Kubernetes dashboard created by the author while learning about the technology. The reporter has been utilizing the dashboard in their daily deployments and finds it easy to use, prompting them to seek feedback and suggestions from others. The dashboard's permissions are currently basic, making it more suitable for independent developers and small teams rather than larger organizations with complex structures.
The reporter highlights several features of AliangBoard:
1. Advanced terminal: This feature offers a pop-up terminal for executing commands inside Pods. Users can minimize the terminal, and even if they refresh the page, the session state is preserved, eliminating the risk of losing command history.
2. File management: AliangBoard allows users to browse, edit, upload, and download files for any Pod directly through the user interface.
3. Topology view: This feature visualizes the relationships between Ingress, Service, and Deployment resources, simplifying the understanding of an application's networking.
4. SSH management: Users can store their server SSH credentials within the dashboard, enabling them to manage their VMs alongside their Kubernetes clusters.
5. AI integration: The dashboard includes built-in AI that can interact with both the Kubernetes cluster and SSH servers, assisting with automating deployments both inside and outside the cluster.
The reporter encourages users to try AliangBoard and invites them to open issues on GitHub to share suggestions or report bugs. A live demo of the dashboard is available, with the username "admin" and password "admin123".
