v0.1.0-beta.20

Released: February 3, 2025

What's New

Custom Kubeconfig Directory

Configure where Kunobi looks for your kubeconfig files. By default, Kunobi monitors ~/.kube, but you can now specify a different directory in settings — useful for teams with non-standard configurations or developers managing multiple kubeconfig setups.

Set a custom kubeconfig directory in Settings
Automatic detection when the directory is renamed or relocated
Cluster connections are cleanly reset when the directory changes

Auto-Configure Terminal Environment

Local terminals now automatically set the KUBECONFIG environment variable based on your selected Kubernetes context. This means kubectl commands run in Kunobi's terminal will target the correct cluster without manual configuration.

Terminal names reflect the active context
Environment is injected seamlessly when opening a new terminal
Works with both local and remote clusters

MCP Port Configuration

Configure which port the MCP server runs on, with built-in conflict detection. If the default port (3030) is already in use, Kunobi now shows a clear error and lets you pick a different port.

Set a custom MCP port in Settings
Automatic error notification if the port is blocked
Server auto-restarts when you change the port while running

Cluster Details Panel

The cluster management view now includes a details panel showing cluster information and real-time metrics. Get visibility into your cluster's status, node count, and resource utilization at a glance.

View cluster metadata and connection details
Real-time metrics display
Improved table auto-fitting for better readability

Improvements

AI Chat Experience

The AI conversation panel is now smoother to use. Creating new conversations is instant (no dialog), and deleting a conversation automatically selects another one.

One-click conversation creation with auto-generated titles ("Chat 1", "Chat 2", etc.)
Automatic conversation selection after deletion
Read-Only mode indicator shows when AI tools can only read, not modify
Login button appears directly in the panel when authentication is required

Linux Window Resize Support

Fixed an issue where the webview didn't resize properly on Linux window managers. Kunobi now handles Linux window resize events correctly, ensuring the UI stays responsive during window changes.

Storage Status Indicators

Storage views (PersistentVolumes, PersistentVolumeClaims, StorageClasses) now show proper status indicators, matching the behavior of other resource types.

Right Panel Stability

The right panel no longer resets its width when switching between resource types — your layout preferences are now preserved.

Bug Fixes

Authentication Token Handling

Fixed an issue where OIDC authentication tokens could be lost during refresh, requiring users to re-authenticate. Token refresh now properly captures and stores all required credentials.

Graceful Resource Deletion

When deleting Kubernetes resources that are already gone (404 Not Found), Kunobi now handles this gracefully instead of showing an error.

Pod Log Stability

Fixed log streams disconnecting prematurely for pods that produce logs infrequently. Quiet pods now maintain stable log connections.

Flow View Resource Tracking

Fixed an issue where virtual resources in the flow view could generate duplicate entries due to synthetic UID generation.

The delete confirmation modal now responds to the Enter key, making keyboard-only workflows faster.

Search Bar Behavior

Fixed edge cases where the search bar could appear or disappear incorrectly in certain navigation patterns. The search field now also clears automatically when you close the search bar, so it's ready for a fresh query next time.

Namespace Selector Overlap

Fixed an issue where the namespace selector dropdown could overlap table content on smaller screen sizes.
