Kubeapps is an in-cluster web-based application that enables users with a one-time installation to deploy, manage, and upgrade applications on a Kubernetes cluster.
With Kubeapps you can:
- Customize deployments through an intuitive, form-based user interface
- Inspect, upgrade and delete applications installed in the cluster
- Browse and deploy Helm charts from public or private chart repositories (including VMware Marketplace™ and Bitnami Application Catalog)
- Browse and deploy Kubernetes Operators
- Secure authentication to Kubeapps using a standalone OAuth2/OIDC provider or using Pinniped
- Secure authorization based on Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control
Note: Kubeapps 2.0 and onwards supports Helm 3 only. While only the Helm 3 API is supported, in most cases, charts made for Helm 2 will still work.
Installing Kubeapss is as simple as:
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
kubectl create namespace kubeapps
helm install kubeapps --namespace kubeapps bitnami/kubeappsSee the Getting Started Guide for detailed instructions on how to install and use Kubeapps.
Kubeapps is deployed using the official Bitnami Kubeapps chart from the separate Bitnami charts repository. Although the Kubeapps repository also defines a chart, this is intended for development purposes only.
