Headlamp is a user-friendly, extensible Kubernetes web UI for listing, viewing, and managing cluster resources. It runs in-cluster via Helm/kubectl or as a desktop app for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports multi-cluster management and plugins.
Use cases
- view and manage kubernetes cluster resources from a web ui
- manage multiple kubernetes clusters from one dashboard
- debug pods with logs and exec terminal in a browser
- deploy a kubernetes dashboard in-cluster with helm
- run a kubernetes desktop app locally with kubeconfig
- extend a kubernetes ui with custom plugins
- give team members rbac-aware kubernetes access without kubectl
When to choose
- you need a modern, extensible alternative to the standard Kubernetes dashboard
- you want one UI to manage multiple clusters, in-cluster or locally
- you need role-based UI controls that respect RBAC permissions
- you want a plugin system to customize the dashboard for your team
When to avoid
- you only use kubectl and prefer terminal workflows
- you need a lightweight read-only overview without deploying anything
- you require signed desktop binaries right now (Windows/macOS builds are currently unsigned)
