Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm
The last thing you really need is a common set of tools that you want fingertip access to. I really commonly use LazyGit and K9s in my day job so those are the tools I will show off in this article.

🎀 Five tools to make your K8s experience more enjoyable 🎀
K9s is your best friend (get it? 🐶) when exploring your cluster via the terminal. It shares commonality with Vim for its interaction style using shortcuts and starting commands with: but don’t let that discourage you. K9s keeps a vigilant eye on Kubernetes activities, providing real-time information and intuitive commands for resource interaction.

Building a Kubernetes Operator with the Operator Framework
k9s: brew install k9s

Harlequin: SQL IDE for Your Terminal
I would like to put in a vote for k9s, which is also on the list at Terminal Trove. [0] It's the most convenient tool I've ever found for Kubernetes management. Based on that experience I'll definitely be checking out Harlequin.

Seeking Guidance for Transitioning to Kubernetes and SRE/DevOps for traditional infrastructure team
All in all, run things, do some kubectl apply -f something.yml every day, install k9s, and try to configure a big one cluster at some point.

K9s is an open-source, terminal-based UI for interacting with your Kubernetes clusters, making navigating, observing, and managing your apps easier. If you use Kubectl but wish it was easier and faster to use, K9s might be just what you're looking for!

Mirantis K8s Lens closed its source
Are you specifically looking for a free Kubernetes GUI?
If you’re open to commercial options, have a look at what Aptakube (https://aptakube.com) can do.
One feature that sets it apart from other UIs is connecting to multiple clusters simultaneously and seeing all resources in a single table.

Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell
During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. We had 6 clusters and having to switch context constantly was annoying
I ended up building one [1] to use myself, shared with a few people and they loved it. I asked if they’d pay for it and to my surprise, a lot of people said yes. I’ve put up a website and a “pre-order” button with a regressive monthly discount. Sales were going up month after month, and a few months later I decided to quit my job to go all in on it.
Today, I’m averaging on ~€5k/mo from this app, but I’m still doing some part time freelancing, as well as building other products that are not as successful, but are making >€1000/mo
The latest one is open source, privacy friendly analytics for apps [2] that I’m still very actively working on. This is my current “side project” as the previous side project became my main job :)
There’s also an open source upvote site [3] that I haven’t had much time to work on lately, but still generating $$ monthly.

🔥 Why I chose Tauri instead of Electron 🔥
In case you're into Kubernetes, check out Aptakube, a Kubernetes Desktop Client built with Tauri 😊

https://fider.io - an open source alternative to UserVoice. I started this one 6 years ago to learn Go and React. I’ve seen thousands of instances out there being self hosted, so I started a cloud hosting to those who don’t want to manage it themselves.
https://aptakube.com - Desktop Client for Kubernetes. This is very recent, launch was 2 weeks ago, so it’s only starting to get some traction now.
I’m leaving my job to go full time indie hacker now, wish me luck!
- Is there any alternative to Lens desktop software?

Moving from openlens to k9s after the 6.3.0 downgrade
I'm giving a shot on https://aptakube.com. not OSS, but so far has been a great alternative to lens and k9s. The guy behind it made a thread here a while ago.

I quit my job to build a Kubernetes GUI, now looking for feedback!
Thanks again for sharing your feedback! In case you have more, you can drop them here or add them to https://github.com/aptakube/aptakube
That’s definitely something I want to add, and it seems to be the most upvoted feature https://github.com/aptakube/aptakube/issues/23
There’s a known bug if a context has a @ or another special char, I’ll release a fix for that today/tomorrow. More info and a workaround available on https://github.com/aptakube/aptakube/issues/42
This is very interesting. We actually don't wait all for all the clusters to respond. It'll send a request to each cluster in parallel and show the results as soon as there is a response. If you hover over the green icon (sometimes a warning) at the top it will show you the status of each cluster (Loading, Succeeded, Error+Reason). If you happen to see these timeouts again, please file an issue on https://github.com/aptakube/aptakube so I can investigate it further.
