I've been messing with local #Kubernetes GUI clients and while it's a commercial offering, I like Lens so far.

Not sure it's worth it for me to pay for at work ($20/mo/user), but for home use, I like it. https://k8slens.dev/

@relistan OpenLens may be an option for your work requirements. I’m also a fan of k9s.

@ede Thanks! Will check it out.

Yeah, I have been using K9s and like it. Just looking around to see what is out there. I'm a CLI guy, but not all the folks I work with are.

@relistan @richburroughs there is also OpenLens for those who want to get rid of the cloud requirement: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens

I'm not a lens user myself and can't really say how trustworthy this repo is, but you should be able to built it yourself and enjoy :)

@sheogorath @richburroughs I recovered this recommendation also from another reply and will definitely give it a shot.

@relistan I like Lens but I prefer #k9s. I’m just A LOT quicker with it at basically everything since it’s keyboard driven.

@relistan It seems not tonsupport all custom resources though.
K9s worked better for me...

@relistan is lens open-core? I found a github repo for it but when I installed via homebrew it required a login.

@tim There is apparently OpenLens, which is an open source version https://alexandre-vazquez.com/openlens-vs-lens/

I will shortly be switching to that if it works for me.

@relistan @tim
I use OpenLens and, as mentioned in the article, it’s mostly feature complete. It can even install updates instead of having to do it manually.
