See your cluster glow.
Glowpod is a friendly web dashboard for Kubernetes. Developers get plain answers in Glance mode. Platform teams get every resource, log and YAML field in Deep mode. Same app, one click apart.
helm install glowpod
oci://ghcr.io/baid0/charts/glowpod
One small binary
Run it on your laptop or install it in the cluster with Helm.
Every CRD on day one
Custom resources get lists and detail views automatically.
Runs as you
Every request uses your own Kubernetes permissions.
Open source
Free to use, read and extend. MIT licensed.
Simple when you want answers. Deep when you need everything.
For developers who ship apps
Your apps, their health and what to do next, in plain language. No ReplicaSets required.

| Name | Ready | Restarts | Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| payments-api-x2kq9 | 0/1 | 14 | 23m |

Know if your cluster is okay in two seconds.
Half-round gauges show real usage, and a thin inner arc shows what pods have reserved. You see the squeeze before new pods stop scheduling.
Everything kubectl knows, without the typing.
Live by default
Lists and events update the moment the cluster changes. Gauges refresh every 15 seconds. No refresh button.
Logs and terminal
Follow live logs and open a terminal in any container, right from the browser.
Safe YAML edits
Edit the real object, see the diff, and dry-run it on the server before anything changes.
Your permissions, respected
Sign in with SSO, LDAP or a token. Buttons appear only for what your RBAC allows.
Custom resources and Helm
Any CRD works out of the box. Helm releases and a resource map per namespace are built in.
Dark first, light too
Easy on the eyes at 3am, readable in a bright meeting room. Fully keyboard friendly.
Running in a minute.
Start on your laptop with your kubeconfig, then move it into the cluster when your team wants it.
Read the quick start
tar -xzf
glowpod_*_darwin_arm64.tar.gz && cd glowpod_*_darwin_arm64
./glowpod
Download glowpod for macOS, Linux or Windows (shown: a Mac with Apple silicon). It uses your kubeconfig's current context, listens on 127.0.0.1 only and opens your browser.
helm install glowpod
oci://ghcr.io/baid0/charts/glowpod \
-n glowpod --create-namespace
Your team signs in with SSO (OpenID Connect), LDAP or a service-account token. Set up the address and ingress with the install guide.
git clone
https://github.com/Baid0/glowpod
cd glowpod && make
build
./bin/glowpod
Needs Go and pnpm. The binary embeds the web app, so there is nothing else to run.
Your cluster is ready to glow.
Install Glowpod in your cluster in a minute, or try it on your laptop first.
