Using traditional package managers or applying manifests directly can be super confusing and doesn't scale. Therefore, Glasskube will help you to install your favorite Kubernetes packages using the Glasskube UI for reduced complexity and increased transparency. We are also providing a brew inspired CLI for advanced users. Our packages are dependency aware, as you would expect from a package manager. Designed as a cloud native application, so you can follow your GitOps approach.
- ๐ก Streamlined UI and CLI Experience:
We've stripped away unnecessary complexities, providing a simple yet powerful user interface and command-line interface for easy package management. - ๐ Automated Updates:
Glasskube ensures your Kubernetes packages and apps are always up-to-date, minimizing the manual effort required for maintenance. - ๐ค Dependency Awareness:
We understand the interconnected nature of Kubernetes packages. Glasskube intelligently manages dependencies. - ๐ ๏ธ GitOps Ready with ArgoCD or Flux:
Seamlessly integrate Glasskube into your GitOps workflow with support for popular tools like ArgoCD or Flux. - ๐ฆ Central Package Repository:
Keep track of all your packages in one central repository, which a planned feature for custom repositories. - ๐ Cluster Scan (planned):
Introducing the Cluster Scan feature in a future version, which allows you to detect packages in your cluster, providing valuable insights for better management and upgrade paths. - ๐ Version Pinning (planned):

You can install Glasskube via Homebrew:
brew install glasskube/tap/glasskube
For other installation options check out our install guide.
Once the CLI is installed, the first step is to install the necessary components in your cluster. To do that, run
glasskube bootstrap
After successfully bootstrapping your cluster, you are ready to start the package manager UI:
glasskube serve
This command will open http://localhost:8580
in your default browser.
Congratulations, you can now explore and install all our available packages! ๐
- Cert Manager
cert-manager/cert-manager
- Ingress-NGINX Controller

In the next versions you will be able to install more packages like the Kube-Prometheus-Stack, Velero and the CloudNativePG. With v0.1.0 you will also be able to install apps like GitLab, Keycloak or Hashicorp Vault with the Glasskube Apps Operator. You can find the full list and release schedule in our roadmap
