Kubeapps is an in-cluster web-based UI for deploying, managing, and upgrading applications on Kubernetes clusters, supporting Helm charts, Flux, Carvel packages, and Operators. The original project was deprecated and archived in August 2025, with development continuing in the SAP fork.

Use cases

  • deploy helm charts from a web ui on kubernetes
  • browse and install applications from a private chart repository
  • upgrade and delete kubernetes applications without kubectl
  • give teams a self-service kubernetes app catalog with rbac
  • deploy kubernetes operators through a graphical interface
  • manage carvel or flux packages in cluster

When to choose

  • you want a browser-based catalog UI for Helm, Flux, or Carvel packages on Kubernetes
  • you need OAuth2/OIDC or Pinniped authentication with Kubernetes RBAC-backed authorization
  • you are okay using the actively maintained SAP fork instead of the archived original

When to avoid

  • you need ongoing support or new features from the original vmware-tanzu repository, which is archived and deprecated
  • you prefer managing deployments purely with kubectl, GitOps, or CLI tooling
  • you require Helm 2 support, which is not available in Kubeapps 2.0+
