OpenCost UI

The preferred install path for Kubecost is via Helm chart, and is explained here

To manually run the OpenCost UI, follow the steps below.

Requirements

• nodejs >= 18.3.0
• npm >= 8.11.0

Installation & Running

To run the UI, open a terminal to the opencost/ui/ directory (where this README is located) and run

npm install

This will install required dependencies and build tools. To launch the UI, run

npx parcel src/index.html

This will launch a development server, serving the UI at http://localhost:1234 and targeting the data for an instance of OpenCost running at http://localhost:9090. To access an arbitrary OpenCost install, you can use

kubectl port-forward deployment/opencost 9090:9003

for your choice of namespace and cloud context.
