Kubernetes
View and manage local Kubernetes pods and services.
Overview
ArcBox Desktop provides a read-and-manage view of Kubernetes resources running in your local cluster.
This is not a full Kubernetes dashboard. It covers the resources developers interact with most: pods and services.
Pods
The Kubernetes section in the sidebar shows pods grouped by namespace.
Each pod entry shows:
- Pod name and namespace
- Status (Running, Pending, Failed, etc.)
- Container count and readiness
- Age
Click a pod to see its containers. Each container supports logs and terminal access, the same as Docker containers.
Services
The services view shows:
- Service name and type (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer)
- Ports and target ports
- Selector labels
- Connected pods
Cluster Connection
ArcBox uses your existing kubeconfig (~/.kube/config) to connect to the cluster. It respects the current context.
To switch contexts, use the CLI:
kubectl config use-context <context-name>ArcBox Desktop picks up context changes automatically.
