PTKublet Docs
Use the native desktop app for day-to-day Kubernetes operations.
Overview
PTKublet is a Tauri 2 desktop app with a Rust sidecar and React UI. It keeps dashboards, YAML editing, logs, exec, and WebSocket watches in one native workspace for macOS.
Quick start
- Clone the repository and install dependencies.
- Start the desktop app in development mode (see the repo README for current commands).
- Point the app at your kubeconfig or cluster context.
- Open the dashboard to watch core resources in real time.
Core workflows
- Watch — live WebSocket updates across namespaces and resource types
- Inspect — pod logs, exec terminal, and port-forward from one place
- Edit — RBAC-aware YAML with workload scale and rollout restart
- Backup — schedule backups and restore from S3-compatible storage
Permissions
PTKublet respects your kubeconfig credentials and cluster RBAC. If an action is denied in the API, the UI surfaces the error instead of attempting elevated access.
