A General Purpose UI for FluxCD.

Capacitor Next is a client-side Kubernetes client that uses your kubeconfig to access your clusters.

  • Like k9s, but in the browser.
  • Like the ArgoCD UI, just lighter.

(you can also run it on a URL for your team)

Quickstart

wget -qO- https://gimlet.io/install-capacitor | bash

Features

  • 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

Why

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.
