It packages a cluster browser, log viewer, filters, context selection, and resource inspection into a single terminal application. ### Project history The kubetui README describes the project as a TUI for developers and operators to access Kubernetes application and infrastructure information. The Rust crate metadata identifies the repository, MIT license, and keywords around Kubernetes, terminal UI, and monitoring. ### Adoption history kubetui is a smaller project, but its packaging across Homebrew, Nix, pacman, winget, and zypper metadata shows the familiar path for Rust CLIs: publish prebuilt binaries, make the tool easy to install on developer workstations, and let terminal users avoid a browser dashboard. ### How it is used The README documents browsing pods and container logs, inspecting nodes, watching ConfigMaps and Secrets, listing network resources, watching events, selecting arbitrary resources, changing contexts, and using a custom config file through --config-file. ### Why package nerds care kubetui sits in the same ecosystem as k9s and other terminal-first Kubernetes dashboards. It is package-nerd interesting because it is a modern Rust TUI distributed through several OS package managers, with features that overlap both kubectl workflows and full dashboard tools. ### Timeline - 2025: Public issue activity and packaging metadata show active use and distribution. - 2026: The v1.14.0 release highlighted a Node tab and column-aware filtering. - 2026: Cargo metadata in the repository listed version 1.14.0 and Kubernetes TUI keywords. ### Related projects - Related tools include kubectl, k9s, kube-ps1, stern, kubetail, and Kubernetes Dashboard. kubetui is most directly comparable to terminal dashboards that trade web UI polish for fast keyboard-driven inspection. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** kubetui - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - kubetui: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ku/kubetui/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - pacman - kubetui - 1.14.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: kubetui from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A TUI for real-time monitoring and exploration of Kubernetes resources | https://github.com/sarub0b0/kubetui - zypper - kubetui - 1.14.0-1.1: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: kubetui from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | A terminal UI for Kubernetes | https://github.com/sarub0b0/kubetui - winget - kosay.kubetui: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: kosay.kubetui from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [k9s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/k9s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes, tui. - [ktop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ktop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes, monitoring. - [kty](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kty/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes, tui. - [cdk8s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdk8s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [chaoskube](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chaoskube/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [click](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/click/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [cloud-provider-kind](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cloud-provider-kind/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [clusterawsadm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clusterawsadm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [kubespy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kubespy/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
