Deployment¶

There are 2 options to install KubeScope to your cluster:

• Using Helm, with the project repository chart (recommended)

• Using kubectl apply, with raw YAML manifests

Prerequisites¶

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Kubernetes cluster (v1.30+ recommended)

• kubectl configured

• Helm (optional)

Using Helm¶

If you have Helm, you can start by cloning the repository.

git clone https://github.com/TonyQ-Lab/kubescope-dashboard.git

Move to the project's directory, and install the chart to a namespace of your choice.

helm install kubescope charts/kubescope -n kubescope-dashboard --create-namespace

Access the web interface.

kubectl port-forward svc/kubescope-frontend 8080:80 -n kubescope-dashboard

Now you can open your browser at http://localhost:8080 to view your dashboard.

Using YAML manifests¶

Clone the repository, and move inside the manifest directory.

git clone https://github.com/TonyQ-Lab/kubescope-dashboard.git

cd kubescope-dashboard/manifests

Creating a new namespace.

kubectl create ns kubescope-dashboard

Create RBAC resources, these include ServiceAccount, ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding.

kubectl apply -f rbac

Install dashboard components and its services.

kubectl apply -f deployment -f service
