Seabird is a native cross-platform Kubernetes desktop client that makes it super easy to explore your cluster's resources. We aim to visualize all common resource types in a simple, bloat-free user interface.

Builds are currently available for Linux and Windows. Note that this is alpha quality software with missing features and bugs.

Seabird requires libadwaita (>1.4) and gtksourceview 5 to run. The Windows builds include all dependencies.

sudo dnf install libadwaita gtksourceview5

sudo apt install libadwaita-1 libgtksourceview-5

Note: Releases older than Debian Trixie or Ubuntu Mantic are not supported. Please use the Flatpak instead.

Build dependencies

sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libgtksourceview-5-dev libadwaita-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin golang-go

sudo dnf install gtk4-devel gtksourceview5-devel libadwaita-devel gobject-introspection-devel glib2-devel golang

Run go generate to create the embedded resource file:

go generate ./...

Then build with:

go build

If you experience problems, please open an issue. Try to include as much information as possible, such as version, operating system and reproduction steps.

For feature suggestions, please create a discussion. If you have a concrete vision for the feature and are prepared to implement it, open an issue instead.
