Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes web UI.

Headlamp was created to be a Kubernetes web UI that has the traditional functionality of other
web UIs/dashboards available (i.e. to list and view resources) as well as other features.



## Features

- Vendor independent / generic Kubernetes UI
- Works in-cluster, or locally as a desktop app
- Multi-cluster
- Extensible through plugins
- UI controls reflecting user roles (no deletion/update if not allowed)
- Clean & modern UI
- Cancellable creation/update/deletion operations
- Logs, exec, and resource editor with documentation
- Read-write / interactive (actions based on permissions)

## Quickstart

If you want to deploy Headlamp in your cluster, check out the instructions on running it [in-cluster](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation/in-cluster/).

If you have a kube config already, you can quickly try Headlamp locally as a
[desktop application](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation/desktop/),
for [Linux](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation/desktop/linux-installation),
[Mac](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation/desktop/mac-installation),
or [Windows](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation/desktop/win-installation).
**Make sure** you have a kubeconfig file set up with your favorite clusters and
in the default path so Headlamp can use it.

### Accessing

Headlamp uses [RBAC](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac) for checking
whether and how users can access resources. If you try Headlamp with a token that has very limited
permissions, you may not be able to view your cluster resources correctly.

See the documentation on [how to easily get a Service Account token](https://headlamp.dev/docs/latest/installation#create-a-service-account-token) for your cluster.

## Tested platforms

We maintain a list of the [Kubernetes platforms](./docs/platforms.md) we have
tested Headlamp with, and invite you to add any missing platform you have
tested, or comments if there are regressions in already filed platforms that
should be consider.
