Kty – The Terminal for Kubernetes

kty is an SSH server written in rust that provides a TUI-based dashboard mapping k8s concepts onto SSH. It relies on OpenID providers for identity so that you don't need to introduce anything special to your stack. With SSH in place, there are some fun things you can do which are difficult otherwise: - Forward traffic from a service on the cluster to your local laptop using `ssh -R`. - Forward traffic from a local port to the cluster using `ssh -L`. - Use `scp` or any sftp client natively to copy files in and out of containers. - Shell into a container from anywhere that SSH is supported.

What it does

kty: Terminal for Kubernetes

The terminal for Kubernetes. kty is the easiest way to access resources such as pods on your cluster - all without kubectl . Once kty is installed on your cluster, ssh gives you a dashboard to interact with the cluster. kty is an SSH server written in rust which provides a TUI-based dashboard that maps Kubernetes concepts to SSH. It relies on OpenID providers such as Github or Google to verify your identity. Kubernetes RBAC validates access, just like kubectl does, respecting your organizationalfrom kty.dev

    Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a general-purpose logging dashboard for Kubernetes, optimized for tailing logs across multi-container workloads in real-time. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all the containers in a workload (e.g. Deployment or DaemonSet) merged into a single chronological timeline, delivered to your browser or terminal. I launched Kubetail on HN last year and at that time the top request was to add search. Now I'm happy to say we finally have search available in our latest official release (cli/v0.4.3, helm/v0.10.1). You can check it out in action here:…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
