> [!CAUTION]
> After many years of growth and milestones, the time has come for the next chapter of Kubeapps. The current maintainers are concentrating their efforts on new projects. We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain the project going forward. Without new volunteers, the project will be deprecated and the repo archived on August 8th, 2025.
## Overview
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:
- Browse and deploy different packages like [Helm](https://github.com/helm/helm) charts, [Flux](https://fluxcd.io/) or [Carvel](https://carvel.dev/) packages from public or private repositories (including [VMware Marketplace™](https://marketplace.cloud.vmware.com) and [Bitnami Application Catalog](https://bitnami.com/application-catalog))
- Customize deployments through an intuitive user interface
- Browse, upgrade and delete applications installed in the cluster
- Browse and deploy [Kubernetes Operators](https://operatorhub.io/)
- Secure authentication to Kubeapps using a [standalone OAuth2/OIDC provider](./site/content/docs/latest/tutorials/using-an-OIDC-provider.md) or [using Pinniped](./site/content/docs/latest/howto/OIDC/using-an-OIDC-provider-with-pinniped.md)
- Secure authorization based on Kubernetes [Role-Based Access Control](./site/content/docs/latest/howto/access-control.md)
**_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.
## Getting started with Kubeapps
Installing Kubeapps is as simple as:
```bash
kubectl create namespace kubeapps
helm install kubeapps --namespace kubeapps oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/kubeapps
```
See the [Getting Started Guide](./site/content/docs/latest/tutorials/getting-started.md) for detailed instructions on how to install and use Kubeapps.
> Kubeapps is deployed using the official [Bitnami Kubeapps chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/kubeapps) from the separate Bitnami charts repository. Although the Kubeapps repository also defines a chart, this is intended for development purposes only.
