flux-web

If you don't know what GitOps is then we highly encourage you to read Weavework blog and flux for the implemention.

flux-web is used for manual actions against flux's api:

list current workloads
dynamic namespaces overview
workload's version promotion or rollback

Reasoning

When using flux our pipelines, or to be more precise, our Continues Deployments are fully automated and that's great. But, sometimes we would like to have more stable environments with fewer deployments and with more control, for example, production. That's mean we need to do some manual actions against flux which have his own CLI tool fluxctl.

flux-web is intended to be the UI approach to this problem. With flux-web we can view at our workloads per namespace with their available versions and with a single click we can promote a workload or to perform a rollback.

Getting Started

The easiset way to deploy flux-web is with helm:

git clone git@github.com:flux-web/flux-web.git
cd flux-web/chart/flux-web
kubectl create ns flux
helm install . --name flux-web \
               --set namespace=flux

Or, for an example we can deploy flux-web as readonly mode:

helm install . --name flux-web \
               --set namespace=flux
               --set frontend.env.READ_ONLY=true

Deploying flux-web with HelmRelease:

---
apiVersion: flux.weave.works/v1beta1
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: flux-web
  namespace: flux
spec:
  releaseName: flux-web
  chart:
    git: git@github.com:flux-web/flux-web.git
    path: chart/flux-web
    ref: master
  values:
    frontend:
        env:
          API_EXTERNAL_URL: //flux-web.my-domain/api/v1
          WS_URL: wss://flux-web.my-domain/ws/v1
    ingress:
      hosts:
        - host: flux-web.my-domain
          paths: 
            - frontend: /
            - backend: /api
            - backend: /ws

Continued Development

Basically a roadmap.

Coming soon

filter workloads - ✓
scroll over workload's versions - ✓
readonly mode - ✓
turn on/off flux automation on a workload
features you'd like to see?

Maybe in the future, if people want it

user access and authentication

Probably in the future

select and release multiple workloads
