KubeRider is a desktop application that I'm building to working with Kubernetes clusters. This post is part of the ongoing series covering the development of KubeRider.

See here for more articles in the series.

The application is written in Python and uses PyQt5 for desktop components. My plan is to make it simple enough for most people to manage kubernetes clusters without having to remember CLI switches. And at the same time, the console view shows you the commands being run to help you understand what is going on behind the scenes.

The application relies on Kubectl to run commands so make sure you have it installed and working.

When the application starts up, it tries to get all the available contexts and select the currently selected context. It also tries to load all available namespaces in the selected context.
