Capacitor Next is a local-first web UI for FluxCD and Kubernetes, distributed as a single binary that serves a built-in webserver using your kubeconfig. It provides resource discovery, Flux resource trees, Kustomization diffing between cluster and git state, Helm history and rollback, logs, metrics, and keyboard-driven navigation—like k9s but in the browser.

Use cases

• browse kubernetes resources with a ui instead of kubectl
• view fluxcd kustomization diffs between git and cluster state
• inspect helm release history and roll back deployments
• view pod logs and metrics in a browser dashboard
• manage multiple kubernetes clusters from one local tool
• give developers an argocd-like ui for a flux gitops setup

When to choose

• you use FluxCD for gitops and want a UI comparable to ArgoCD's
• you prefer a lightweight single-binary local dashboard over hosting a full web dashboard
• you want k9s-style keyboard navigation in a browser
• you need multi-cluster visibility with RBAC respected

When to avoid

• your team uses ArgoCD rather than FluxCD
• you need a fully hosted, always-on dashboard with team authentication out of the box (team self-hosting is still in beta)
• you only need raw kubectl scripting rather than a visual interface
