Kubernetes

Kubernetes views appear in the app sidebar as Cluster, Workloads, and Services. They are available only when Kubernetes is enabled for the selected Colima profile and kubectl can reach the selected context.

What Cluster shows

• Kubernetes context.
• Kubernetes version reported by the profile.
• Node count.
• Profile state.
• Cluster identity values.
• Nodes with name, roles, kubelet version, and Ready condition.

How to get data to appear

1. Select a Colima profile.
2. Enable Kubernetes in the profile editor or use Enable Kubernetes from Cluster or the menu bar.
3. Start or restart the profile if required.
4. Confirm kubectl can reach the context.
5. Click Refresh.

Minimal check:

kubectl config current-context
kubectl get nodes

Available actions

• Enable Kubernetes when Kubernetes is disabled.
• Disable Kubernetes when enabled.
• Restart Profile.
• Navigate to Workloads and Services.

Kubernetes resource views are read-only; the app does not create, update, delete, or apply Kubernetes objects.

Empty states

• Cluster state unavailable: Colima diagnostics are unavailable.
• Select a profile: Kubernetes state is scoped to one profile.
• Kubernetes is disabled: the selected profile does not have Kubernetes enabled.
• No nodes reported by kubectl: kubectl get nodes -o json returned no nodes or the command failed.
• No nodes match the current search: local search filtered the rows.

Source commands

ColimaStack invokes:

kubectl --context <context> config current-context
kubectl --context <context> get nodes -o json
kubectl --context <context> get namespaces -o json
kubectl --context <context> top nodes --no-headers
