A general purpose UI for FluxCD.

FluxCD is an amazing backend for all things gitops.

It is a shame that ArgoCD gained so much traction mostly because developers appreciate the UI. Rolling out a read-only ArgoCD UI made Argo the de-facto kubernetes dashboard, where people look at logs and various kubernetes resources.

Capacitor's goal is to level the field: providing a UI option for Flux users that matches or exceeds the level of ArgoCD.

Capacitor is built currently by Gimlet.io founder Laszlo Fogas on live streams:

• 1730CET, 16th October - Capacitor launch, Flux CRD backend
  • https://youtube.com/live/Tw18CWFL5jo
• 1700CET, 20th October - Rudimentary data model, bundling a React frontend
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQ_ZSon8KA
• 1730CET, 23rd October - Rendering Flux state
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoOIRF2bsQY
• 1700CET, 6th November - Product vision, Rendering Kustomizations, React event handlers
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaDRRDvsRAs

Capacitor wants to be more than a tool that displays Flux's CRDs in tables. Capacitor wants to provide contextualized information for developers to best operate their applications.

• Flux CRD data ("sync state") backend
• Flux CRD data ("sync state") frontend
• UI for kubernetes resources deployed by Flux
• Quick actions: logs, events, describe, port-forward
• Displaying Errors
• Error notifications
• Support for environments
• Display application meta information - service catalog items
