Kubernetes Web Portal using JS & Py-CGI

In my Docker Web Portal, I took input from the user via key:value pair. In this web app, I have used a smarter approach. Here you can write/speak English statements and the Python CGI Code will understand the statement & convert it into commands and present the commands & their output on the web app.

Frontend ➡

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript

Backend ➡

• Python CGI
• Kubernetes

Using Python CGI Codes I am taking input from the client (via the web portal) in the form of English Statements & the code runs the particular kubectl commands and gives the output back to JS functions that display it on the webpage.

The Website

Features of the Website:

• Display all pods, deployment, service
• Create pods, deployment, services
• Expose deployments
• Scale the deployment
• Delete particular/all resources

Pre-requisites to run the web app

• Create appropriate firewall rules & SELinux rules, or for simplicity switch it off.
• Setup the Apache webserver for the codes to run.
• Install kubectl command line and configure the kubectl to use either a local minikube cluster or a cloud-based cluster.
• Then you need the configuration files, keys & certificates in the proper folder and kubeconfig path properly set, to use the kubectl command line.

# kubectl version

• Using this command check whether you can connect to the server.

After this, using simple if…else conditions, I am converting the English statements into the proper kubectl commands that will be run on the background by the CGI codes.
