Desktop console for Kubernetes clusters. Native Avalonia app on Windows and Linux: browse resources, apply YAML, follow logs, exec into pods, and reach workload UIs through localhost.
**MaksIT Cluster Console** (also **ClusterConsole**, `MaksIT.ClusterConsole`) is an **open-source Kubernetes GUI** — a native desktop client for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is an operator console: browse the Kubernetes API, apply YAML, follow pod logs, exec, port-forward to localhost, and inspect Helm releases and Dapr components already in the cluster.
Cluster access uses the official Kubernetes .NET client and the same kubeconfig and RBAC as any other API client. Contexts are edited in-process; the kubeconfig file on disk is the source of truth.
It is a **Kubernetes desktop app**, not a web dashboard and not a command-line client. Cluster access uses the official **Kubernetes .NET client**, your **kubeconfig**, and the same **RBAC** as any other API client. The kubeconfig file on disk is the source of truth. A catalog radio sets kubectl `current-context`.

## Highlights
## Screenshots
Capabilities that are first-class in ClusterConsole, not afterthoughts:
### Cluster overview
- **Port-forward, then open the UI** — forwards live under **Network → Port Forwarding**. Double-click a live row to open `http://127.0.0.1:{port}` in the default browser. Enabled forwards persist, restore on reconnect, survive pod recreation (owner or stable labels), and can rebind the local port without recreating the tunnel.
- **Local Ollama chat on the selection** — diagnose the highlighted resource with an on-machine model. The assistant can read cluster issues, YAML, logs, and events. Nothing is sent to a cloud AI API. Chat cannot apply, restart, or delete.
- **Dapr in the navigator** — Components, Configurations, Subscriptions, Resiliency, HTTPEndpoints, sidecars, and control-plane pods as catalog views, not a generic CRD dump.
- **Volume files** — browse, edit, download, and upload files on persistent volumes and claims from the desktop.
- **Limits you can fix** — overview shows container CPU and memory against node capacity and can patch limits that oversubscribe the node.
- **Connections stay in the app** — wizard to add or update a context (token, client certificate, or basic auth). A catalog radio sets kubectl current-context.
Catalog radio sets kubectl `current-context` (green dot is a live session). Overview shows CPU, memory, and pod counts from metrics-server; **Resource limits** can patch container CPU/MEM against node capacity.
![Cluster overview](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_jIJTQXS3pB.png)
### Applications
One row per `app.kubernetes.io/instance` (or `name`) and namespace. CPU is percent of cluster allocatable; memory is summed from owned pods when metrics-server is available.
![Applications table](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_CmfgCLXO7x.png)
### Pods
Ready, Restarts, Status, Node, CPU, and Memory. Filters and sort persist per cluster. Details: Overview, YAML, Events, Logs (Follow), Terminal.
![Pods table](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_FNf58xBr0a.png)
### Chat
Local Ollama on the selection (default `qwen3:8b`). Read-only tools: issues, YAML, logs, events. Cannot apply, restart, or delete. No cloud AI API.
![Chat on a selected pod](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_k9oNwnqYrU.png)
### Volume files
Browse, edit, download, and upload files on a PersistentVolume or claim. Double-click a PV/PVC row to open the explorer.
![Volume files](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_VEkXUIQZ6N.png)
### Dapr
First-class navigator: Components, Configurations, Subscriptions, Resiliency, HTTP Endpoints, Sidecars, Control plane.
![Dapr Components](assets/images/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.UI_zQePBIqSNT.png)
### Port forwarding
**Network → Port Forwarding**: tunnels persist, restore on reconnect, and retarget a running pod. Double-click **Active** opens `http://127.0.0.1:{port}/`. **Rebind** changes the local port.

## Features
- **Contexts** — catalog of kubeconfig contexts; radio selects kubectl current-context
- **Contexts** — kubeconfig catalog; radio selects kubectl `current-context`
- **Navigator** — Cluster, Nodes, Applications, Workloads, Config, Network, Storage, Namespaces, Events, Helm, Dapr, Access Control, Custom Resources
- **Resource tables** — list and refresh any catalogued type; per-column filters and row sort persisted per cluster
- **Inspect and apply** — YAML view, apply, create, delete; force-delete (grace period 0 and strip finalizers), including namespaces whose objects are already gone
- **Tables** — list and refresh; column filters and sort stored per cluster
- **YAML** — view, apply, create, delete; force-delete (grace period 0, strip finalizers)
- **Workloads** — scale, restart, CronJob trigger; node cordon and drain
- **Pods** — follow logs, exec
- **Applications** — one row per instance and namespace from standard application labels
- **Helm** — releases discovered from cluster secrets
- **Metrics** — CPU and memory columns when the metrics API is available
- **Applications** — one row per instance and namespace from standard labels
- **Helm** — releases from cluster secrets
- **Metrics** — CPU and memory when the metrics API is available
- **Port-forwards** — persist, restore, open in the browser
- **Chat** — local Ollama, read-only
- **Volume files** — browse and edit PV/PVC contents
## Requirements
- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
- A kubeconfig (`KUBECONFIG` or `~/.kube/config`) with permission to the target cluster
- Windows or Linux
- Optional: a local [Ollama](https://ollama.com) daemon for Chat
- Windows, Linux, or macOS
- Optional: local [Ollama](https://ollama.com) for Chat (`ollama pull qwen3:8b`)
- From source: [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
## Getting started
From `src/` so `global.json` applies:
Install a build from [Releases](https://github.com/MAKS-IT-COM/maksit-cluster-console/releases), or from `src/`:
```powershell
cd src

```
Connect a context from the catalog, pick a navigator item, then use the table, details pane, and footer actions for the selected row.
Connect a context from the catalog, pick a navigator item, then use the table, details pane, and footer actions.
## Configuration
Host logging lives in `src/MaksIT.ClusterConsole.Shared/appsettings.json` (copied next to the UI under Program Files; normal users cannot write it). Operator layout, open clusters, port-forwards, and Chat settings are saved to `%AppData%/MaksIT/Cluster Console/settings.json` (same folder name as WiX: `Program Files\MaksIT\Cluster Console`). On first launch, a leftover `Configuration` block next to the exe is copied once into that user file.
Notable keys under `Configuration` in the user file:
Operator layout, open clusters, port-forwards, and Chat settings are stored in `MaksIT/Cluster Console/settings.json` under the OS application-data folder (`%AppData%` on Windows, `~/.config` on Linux, `~/Library/Application Support` on macOS).
| Key | Role |
|-----|------|
| `OllamaEndpoint` | Chat API, default `http://127.0.0.1:11434` |
| `OllamaModel` | Chat model, default `qwen3:8b` |
| `PortForwards` | Enabled localhost forwards; restored when the cluster reconnects |
| `Layout` | Window and pane sizes, last navigator item, per-cluster table layout (`Tables`) |
| `PortForwards` | Enabled localhost forwards; restored on reconnect |
| `Layout` | Window, panes, last navigator item, per-cluster tables |
Port-forwards are saved when you start them in the UI. Chat cannot apply, restart, or delete.
Chat cannot apply, restart, or delete.

## FAQ
```bash
ollama pull qwen3:8b
```
**Is MaksIT Cluster Console a Kubernetes GUI?**
Yes. It is a native desktop Kubernetes GUI (operator console) for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
**Does it use kubeconfig?**
Yes. `KUBECONFIG` or `~/.kube/config`. RBAC is whatever that identity already has. A catalog radio writes kubectl `current-context` only.
**Does Chat send cluster data to a cloud AI?**
No. Chat is optional [Ollama](https://ollama.com) on the same machine. Tools only read issues, YAML, logs, and events.
**Can it install a cluster, Helm charts, or Dapr?**
No. It talks to an existing Kubernetes API. Helm and Dapr screens list objects that are already there.
**Where are the installers?**
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/MAKS-IT-COM/maksit-cluster-console/releases).
## Tests

utils\Invoke-TestEngine.bat
```
From `src/`:
```powershell
dotnet test MaksIT.ClusterConsole.Tests
```
Tests use kubeconfig fixtures and do not require a live cluster. Coverage shields at the top of this file are maintained by the test engine (**CoverageBadges**).
## Release
1. Update [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and bump `<Version>` in [src/Directory.Build.props](src/Directory.Build.props).
2. Tag `v{version}` on `main`.
3. Run `utils\Invoke-ReleasePackage.bat`.
GitHub assets are siblings: portable `maksit-cluster-console-{version}.zip` (win-x64 only), Windows setup `maksit-cluster-console-{version}.exe`, and `maksit-cluster-console-{version}.flatpak`. The installer and Flatpak are not inside the zip. On Windows the Flatpak bundle is built via WSL Debian.

Or `dotnet test MaksIT.ClusterConsole.Tests` from `src/`. Tests use kubeconfig fixtures and do not need a live cluster.
## Scope
ClusterConsole is a desktop operator console for the Kubernetes API. It is not a CLI, a cluster installer, or a replacement for admission, GitOps, or secret-management systems. Helm listing and Dapr views cover objects in the cluster; they do not install charts or administer Dapr building blocks.
