Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes web UI.

Headlamp was created to be a Kubernetes web UI that has the traditional functionality of other web UIs/dashboards available (i.e. to list and view resources) as well as other features.

• Vendor independent / generic Kubernetes UI
• UI controls reflecting user roles (no deletion/update if not allowed)
• Multi-cluster
• Extensible through plugins
• Clean & modern UI
• Works in-cluster, or locally as a desktop app
• Cancellable creation/update/deletion operations
• Logs, exec, and resource editor with documentation
• Read-write / interactive (actions based on permissions)

If you want to deploy Headlamp in your cluster, check out the instructions on running it in-cluster.

If you have a kube config already, you can quickly try Headlamp locally as a desktop application. Make sure you have a kube config set up with your favorite clusters and in the default path so Headlamp can use it.

Headlamp uses RBAC for checking whether and how users can access resources. If you try Headlamp with a token that has very limited permissions, you may not be able to view your cluster resources correctly.

See the documentation on how to easily get a Service Account token for your cluster.

If you are interested in the direction of the project, we maintain a Roadmap for it with the biggest changes planned so far.
