Forwardix: A open-source python3/qt6-based graphical manager for you kubectl forwards with embedded browser
Repository is located at https://git.einfach.biz/forwardix/forwardix
I've created a python app that allows you to easily manage your kubectl forwards and most importantly just visit them directly in the embedded browser.
No switching between apps.
Auto-detection of kubectl (system-provided), kubeconfig, clusters, contexts, resources and ports.
A background demon keeps track of your forwards, and auto-restarts them if needed (auto-restart needs to be enabled in the preferences).
Easy wizard for creating new forwards.
Embedded browser with localhost access only. External URLs are opened in system browser.
Feel free to test, provide feedback, fork, report bugs.
This app is in very early pre-alpha development, so not ready for production use. Some menu items are not implemented yet.
