Installation and Usage

Before you start you need to install statik to vendor the web content into executable

go get -u github.com/rakyll/statik

Get the kube-universe binary

go get github.com/afritzler/kube-universe

Start kube-universe locally

kube-universe serve --kubeconfig=PATH_TO_MY_KUBECONFIG

or just

kube-universe serve

if you are using minikube or have the KUBECONFIG environment variable pointing to a corresponding cluster.

The web UI can be accessed via http://localhost:3000 and the rendered graph under http://localhost:3000/graph. With the --port flag you can also specify under which port the kube universe server should be exposed (default is 3000).
