Helm Dashboard
Helm Dashboard is a web-based interface for managing and monitoring Helm releases in Kubernetes clusters. It provides a graphical alternative to the command line for viewing deployed releases, inspecting installed charts, and performing the full lifecycle of Helm operations including installation, upgrades, rollbacks, and uninstalls.
The dashboard enables users to browse releases with filtering by namespace or name, view revision history and deployment details, and compare manifest or values differences between revisions before applying changes. It supports deploying charts from repositories, local directories, or pre-release versions, and allows switching between multiple Kubernetes cluster contexts directly from the UI.
For troubleshooting and maintenance, the tool offers release status inspection, resource health monitoring with color-coded indicators, and integration with external scanners to detect vulnerabilities in charts and Kubernetes resources before deployment. Users can restrict operations to specific namespaces, disable health checks or latest version checks, and opt out of usage analytics. The server can be launched from the command line with configurable host and port settings, and local chart paths can be loaded into the interface for development workflows.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
