Show HN: Kty – The Terminal for Kubernetes

6 points by pyronicide 2 days ago

kty is an SSH server written in rust that provides a TUI-based dashboard mapping k8s concepts onto SSH. It relies on OpenID providers for identity so that you don't need to introduce anything special to your stack. With SSH in place, there are some fun things you can do which are difficult otherwise:

- Forward traffic from a service on the cluster to your local laptop using `ssh -R`.

- Forward traffic from a local port to the cluster using `ssh -L`.

- Use `scp` or any sftp client natively to copy files in and out of containers.

- Shell into a container from anywhere that SSH is supported.
