KubeTitan

A native desktop IDE for Kubernetes. Rust and egui, no webview: the app talks straight to your cluster's API server and keeps everything on your machine.

• Resources, logs, terminal, port forwards in one window.
• Port forwards are saved with their local port and reopen in one click after a restart or a context switch.
• A real terminal emulator for exec sessions: prompts, colours, full-screen apps, correct resizes.
• Metrics beside the logs: CPU, memory and disk per pod, charted from the Prometheus already in your cluster.
• Secrets and ConfigMaps as plain key/value, with a diff before anything is written.
• Init containers listed next to the app containers, and pickable as a log target, because a stuck init container is exactly the one you need logs from.
• Keyboard first: Ctrl K jumps anywhere, Ctrl . switches namespace, Ctrl , switches context, Ctrl 1–9 switch view.

Install

curl -fsSL https://kubetitan.com/install | sh

Downloads the latest release for Linux x86_64 or macOS arm64, checks it against the release's SHA256SUMS, and installs it to /usr/local/bin (or ~/.local/bin if that would need sudo). KT_VERSION=v0.1.0 pins a release, KT_PREFIX=/opt/kt installs elsewhere. The script is install.sh in this repository; https://kubetitan.com/install just redirects to it.

Build from source

Needs a Rust toolchain (1.90+) and a kubeconfig that already works with kubectl. On Linux you also need the usual GUI headers (libxkbcommon-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libwayland-dev pkg-config).

git clone https://github.com/dotmethodme/KubeTitan
cd KubeTitan
cargo run --release

Checks: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test. CI runs all three plus a release build.
