Tested Kubernetes, Desktop and Browser Platforms
Tested Kubernetes Platforms
This section shows the different platforms where Headlamp has been tested (in-cluster) or is intended to be tested, and useful observations about it. If you have tested Headlamp on a different flavor or Kubernetes, please file a PR or issue to add your remarks to the list.
The “works” column refers to the overall Kubernetes related functionality when running in the respective platform; it may have 3 different values:
- ✔️ : Has been tried and works fine to the extent of what has been tested
- ❌ : Has been tried and didn’t work or had issues that prevented a regular use of it
- ❔: Hasn’t been tried/reported yet

| Lokomotive | ✔️ | - Works with the regular in-cluster instructions - There’s also the Lokomotive Web UI as a component, which is |
| Microsoft AKS | ✔️ | Testing (not suitable for production):- Deploy Headlamp from the
in-cluster instructions
-
Enable the http_application_routing addon
(this creates a DNS zone)- Use the DNS zone name as the domain for Headlamp, i.e. if it is 1234567.eastus.aksapp.io, then apply
Headlamp’s ingress
using headlamp.1234567.eastus.aksapp.io as the path and use kubernetes.io/ingress.class: addon-http-application-routing as the ingress class annotation.For production, please follow the
intructions to deploy with an HTTPS ingress controller

| Minikube | ✔️ | - For exposing with an ingress, enable ingresses with minikube addons enable ingress - There are docs about the
development
with Minikube. |
| Vultr Kubernetes Engine | ✔️ | - Simple to install / expose with the regular in-cluster instructions . |
Tested Browsers
We mostly test with ‘modern browsers’ defined as the latest version and two older versions. But we try to make Headlamp work with web standards, so it’s quite likely other standards conforming browsers will also work.
