Overview

flux9s provides a terminal-based interface for monitoring and managing Flux CD resources, inspired by the excellent K9s project. It offers real-time monitoring of Flux Custom Resources (CRDs) including Kustomizations, GitRepositories, HelmReleases, and more.

Features

  • Real-time monitoring - Watch Flux resources as they change using Kubernetes Watch API
  • K9s-inspired interface - Familiar navigation and keybindings for K9s users
  • Unified and type-specific views - View all resources together or filter by type
  • Resource operations - Suspend, resume, reconcile, and delete Flux resources
  • YAML viewing - Inspect full resource manifests
  • Namespace switching - Monitor resources across namespaces or cluster-wide
  • Status indicators - Visual indicators for resource health and suspension state

Installation

From Crates.io (Recommended)

cargo install flux9s

From Source

git clone https://github.com/dgunzy/flux9s.git
cd flux9s
cargo build --release

The binary will be available at target/release/flux9s.

Pre-built Binaries

Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are available on the Releases page.

Quick Start

  1. Ensure you have a Kubernetes cluster with Flux installed
  2. Configure your kubeconfig to point to your cluster
  3. Run flux9s
flux9s

By default, flux9s watches the flux-system namespace. Use :ns all to view all namespaces or :ns <namespace> to switch to a specific namespace.

Usage

Navigation

  • j / k - Navigate up/down
  • Enter - View resource details
  • y - View resource YAML
  • Esc - Go back / Quit
  • / - Filter resources by name
  • : - Command mode (e.g., :kustomization, :gitrepository)

Commands

  • :ns <namespace> - Switch namespace
  • :ns all - View all namespaces
  • :q or :q! - Quit
  • :help - Show help

Operations

  • s - Suspend resource
  • r - Resume resource
  • R - Reconcile resource
  • d - Delete resource (with confirmation)
