Feature request: Docker image

[mzac]

I see in the development notes that you can run the app locally in a browser, would it be possible to build a docker image of this that could then be deployed inside a Kubernetes cluster and then access through a service?

If so, there might need to be an enhancement to allow authentication and where to store the kubernetes config file.

Hi @mzac, yes it should be possible to build a Docker image for kubenav. Some questions from my side:

1. Do you want to install kubenav in one cluster and manage multiple clusters or should kubenav be installed in each cluster and only this cluster should be available via kubenav?
2. Is authentication requirement or can the authentication handled via Ingress?

1. I think you could have both options. Maybe if no kubeconfig has been specified there could be a bind to the local cluster that would let you manage it? The latest version of Portainer does something like this.
2. I wouldn't say that the authentication would be a requirement, you could always put it behind a nginx proxy for example that would handle the authentication. Might be good if we came up with a document or an example with say a config map for nginx that would do that.

Hi @mzac, a Docker image is now available at Docker Hub. A tag is pushed for every master commit and release.

I also added an example, to deploy kubenav to Kubernetes: https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav/tree/master/utils/kubernetes

Any further suggestions and improvements are welcome. If you want to improve the example or add an Ingress example feel free to create a PR 🙂

Thanks I’ll give it a try as soon as I can!
