Signed packages
The repository and the RPMs are signed with KubeDrive's key; the release notes carry each package's SHA-256.
Tokens in your keyring
Through the Secret Service: GNOME Keyring or KWallet.
Your credentials stay on your computer
KubeDrive uses your kubeconfig and your SSO sessions, with the RBAC you already have; cluster data never reaches our servers.
The same app as on the Mac
Logs, terminal, YAML with a dry-run diff, Helm, port forwards, the upgrade check and the AI assistant.
Questions
- Does it work on Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12?
- No: their WebKitGTK is too old. Debian 13, Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 40 or newer work.
- Where does it keep its settings?
- In
~/.config/KubeDrive. It reads~/.kube/configor$KUBECONFIG, like kubectl, and never writes to it. - Is it free?
- Free forever for two clusters; Pro is free for 14 days, no card.
- Does it need anything installed in the cluster?
- No. It talks to the API server with your kubeconfig, as kubectl does.
Try it on your largest namespace.
