Hey there! We are excited to introduce the Beta version of Glasskube, the Open Source next generation Package Manager for Kubernetes. If you're familiar with working in a Kubernetes environment, you understand the challenges of managing third-party packages crucial for running your clusters and the applications within them. Current installation methods often lack simple package configuration, are difficult to upgrade, and don't support multi-namespace dependencies.

We're eager to get Glasskube into your hands and hear your thoughts. The best way to get started is by visiting our GitHub repository where you'll find all the information you need to dive in quickly. We're also super thankful for any feedback you can provide in the comments below.

Hi,

I'm Philip the second Co-Founder of Glasskube and happy to answer all technical questions and comments about Glasskube and Kubernetes. :-)

Are there docs on how this compares to other GitOps controllers or how it’s different from helm v2 (with tiller)?

Hi Justin

We have a comparison page with OLM here: https://glasskube.dev/docs/comparisons/olm/

Compared to Helm v2 the client doesn't talk to the controller (server) component directly, we only interact via the Kubernetes API and everything is stored in CRs.

A complete architecture Diagram can be found in our docs: https://glasskube.dev/docs/

Do you have any specifc questions or concerns? Are you facing any challenges in working with packages in Kubernetes? Also happy to jump on quick call. Feel free to contact me via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pmigat/
