# Flightdeck
**IMPORTANT:** This is not production-ready software. This project is in active development.
## Introduction
Flightdeck is a web-based interactive diagram UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to observe and troubleshoot applications running in the cluster.
### Features
* Search cluster resources
* Resource dependencies graph
* Pod logs, description, yaml
* Container file browser
* Login with service account token
* Uses K8s RBAC
## Getting Started
**IMPORTANT:** The default flightdeck deployment contains a minimal set of RBAC privileges needed to run. flightdeck acts as a proxy and only users with a valid bearer token can access the UI and see the Kubernetes resoures.
### Install
The basic installation creates the `flightdeck` namespace with all resources needed to run the application.
```shell
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autovia/flightdeck/main/deploy/flightdeck.latest.yaml
```
### Access
To access the flightdeck UI from your local workstation you must create a bearer token and a port-forward. Run the following commands:
```shell
kubectl -n flightdeck create token admin-user
kubectl -n flightdeck port-forward pod/ 3000:3000
```
Note: The token expires after one hour. Use e.g. `--duration=12h` to change the expiration time to 12 hours.
Now open your browser `localhost:3000` and copy the bearer token and paste it into the `Bearer token` field on the login screen.
Click the `Sign in` button and that's it. You are now logged in as an admin.
### Clean up
Remove the admin-user `ServiceAccount` and `ClusterRoleBinding`.
```shell
kubectl -n flightdeck delete serviceaccount admin-user
kubectl -n flightdeck delete clusterrolebinding admin-user
```
Delete the `flightdeck` namespace.
```shell
kubectl delete namespace flightdeck
```
