Kubecost Open Source UI

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

To manually run an open source demo UI, follow the steps below.

Requirements

• nodejs >= 12.0.0
• npm >= 7.0.0

Installation & Running

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

npm install

This will install required depndencies 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 Kubecost running at http://localhost:9090. To access an arbitrary Kubecost install, you can use

kubectl port-forward deployment/kubecost-cost-analyzer 9090

for your choice of namespace and cloud context.
