Monocular
Monocular is a web-based application that enables the search and discovery of
charts from multiple Helm Chart repositories. It is the codebase that powers the
Helm Hub project.

Install
You can use the chart in this repository to install Monocular in your cluster.
Prerequisites
- Helm and Tiller installed
- Nginx Ingress controller
- Install with Helm:
helm install stable/nginx-ingress - Minikube/Kubeadm:
helm install stable/nginx-ingress --set controller.hostNetwork=true
- Install with Helm:
$ helm repo add monocular https://helm.github.io/monocular
$ helm install monocular/monocular
Access Monocular
Use the Ingress endpoint to access your Monocular instance:
# Wait for all pods to be running (this can take a few minutes)
$ kubectl get pods --watch
$ kubectl get ingress
NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE
tailored-alpaca-monocular * 192.168.64.30 80 11h
Visit the address specified in the Ingress object in your browser, e.g. http://192.168.64.30.

Documentation
Looking for an in-cluster Application management UI?
To focus on the CNCF Helm Hub requirements, in-cluster features have been
removed from Monocular 1.0 and above. We believe that providing a good solution
for deploying and managing apps in-cluster is an orthogonal user experience to a
public search and discovery site. There is other tooling that can support this
usecase better (e.g. Kubeapps or RedHat
Automation
Broker).
Monocular v0.7.3
includes in-cluster features and can still be installed and used until your team
has migrated to another tool.
Roadmap
The Monocular roadmap is currently located in the wiki.
