Cyclops is an open-source dev tool that simplifies Kubernetes with an easy-to-use UI, making it less intimidating. Instead of creating and configuring your Kubernetes manifests with YAML, use Cyclops to painlessly configure and deploy your applications - validations included!
Thanks to the templates system, Cyclops's UI is highly customizable when defining configurations. Our templates turn hours and days of configuring applications into a few clicks.
Cyclops is a platform that allows DevOps teams to quickly and without coding create custom UIs for developers, QA teams, product managers, and other team members who do not necessarily have experience working with Kubernetes.
But don’t worry! If you do not have a DevOps team with you, Cyclops comes with a bunch of predefined templates to get you started!
Under the hood, Cyclops uses Helm charts to create your desired UIs. This means you can try Cyclops with any of your existing Helm charts or any public Helm charts you can find!

⚠️ Before installing Cyclops, make sure you have all the prerequisites⚠️
Cyclops can either be installed manually by applying the latest manifest, by using cyctl, or with the Glasskube Kubernetes Package Manager.
To install Cyclops using kubectl into your cluster, run the commands below:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cyclops-ui/cyclops/v0.15.4/install/cyclops-install.yaml && kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cyclops-ui/cyclops/v0.15.4/install/demo-templates.yamlIt will create a new namespace called cyclops and deploy everything you need for your Cyclops instance to run.
Now, all that is left is to expose the Cyclops server outside the cluster:
kubectl port-forward svc/cyclops-ui 3000:3000 -n cyclopsYou can now access Cyclops in your browser on http://localhost:3000.
Every Cyclops instance comes with a couple of predefined templates. Feel free to use and abuse them!
Helm charts used for these templates can be found here. You can use this repo as a guide to create your own templates. More information on making your own can be found on our web.
The Cyclops command line interface! You can install it with Homebrew:
brew install cyctlWhat are you able to do with cyctl?
Besides the basic commands like getting all modules or templates, you can integrate it with GitHub actions to automate some of the Cyclops processes.
For example, once you create a template and publish it on GitHub, GitHub actions could automatically connect the template to your Cyclops instance using our CLI. This would allow your developers instant access to each new template or any update the template receives.
Cyclops is open-source and open to external contributors. There are plenty of ways you can contribute to the Cyclops project - with code, feedback, content and GitHub stars⭐
