Show HN: KubeForge – A GUI for Kubernetes YAMLs

Wait 5 sec.

Hey HN,I'm Brandon, a solo dev, and I built KubeForge - a visual editor for Kubernetes deployments that helps you build and validate YAML configs.Origin Story: Over the past couple weeks, I got fed up manually writing Kubernetes YAMLs, especially when working with nested structures like containers, env, and volumeMounts. Even small typos or misaligned fields added lost time to broken deploys.So I started hacking together a tool to visualize the structure of Kubernetes objects based on the OpenAPI schema. That prototype quickly turned into a full manifest builder.What KubeForge does:- Pulls the latest Kubernetes OpenAPI schema (auto-updated daily)- Generates field-level forms with type safety, required fields, and smart defaults- Lets you visually build manifests like a flow editor- Outputs clean, deploy-ready YAML, with multi-object exportsPersonally, I wanted a tool that:- Validates fields as I build, not after deployment- Surfaces nested fields, tooltips, and types without switching tabs- Lets me export or share real YAMLs easilyTry it out:GitHub: https://github.com/kubenote/KubeForgeLive demo: https://demo.kubefor.geWebsite: https://kubefor.geIt’s free and open source. I’d love feedback, bug reports, or ideas. Contributions welcome too .Thanks, BrandonComments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44752469Points: 7# Comments: 0
