This is probably way more than what you’re asking for , but since we started using ArgoCD I have found that it is an excellent dashboard. It also doubles as a full fledged operations tool for the majority of the simple tasks our developers would otherwise need to auth into the cluster to do.

Rancher is pretty good, but shines for multiple cluster RBAC without the slog of oidc and rolebindinfs, free if helm install it yourself.

The multi cluster RBAC and single entry api for doing kubectl is where rancher really shines for me.

Aptakube if you want a desktop app. Worth every penny

i really liked headlamp as a management tool

Argocd hands down, it also supports exec imto pods though not turned on by default

everything is worse tan kubectl

Openshift dashboard very good and can be deployed on vanilla k8s.

Depending on what you are looking for I’ve been working on https://github.com/everettraven/buoy

It’s a declarative TUI dashboard for kubernetes. Heavily inspired by both grafana and k9s, but still in the earlier stages of development

Nice dude. Whats your end goal with this? Definitely trying it out.

Have you tried Meshery, yet?

In its most recent release, a number of enhancements were made to Dashboards that exposes the standard info you'd like to observe about your K8s resources but also comes with Plugins that can open a wide array of possibilities. Like visualizing clusters on a visual topology.

What do you want to achieve with it? Depending on this there might be various options ranging from k9s, lens to Rancher, ArgoCD, Grafana+Prometheus… the last 3 are a lot more than just “a dashboard” tho

For monitoring grafana + prometheus + loki

For management, give a Devtron a try, its not bad, but still in development ( kind of single glass of pane for multiple tools )
