Headlamp Backend Plugin (beta)

The Headlamp Backend plugin provides endpoints for starting the headlamp server binary with the kubernetes context specified in the app-config.yaml file. It also provides an endpoint for refreshing the kubeconfig file used by the headlamp server.

Configuration

The Headlamp Backend plugin is configured by setting the headlampBackend.binaryPath in the app-config.yaml file. For example:

1. Install the plugin

yarn --cwd packages/backend add @headlamp-k8s/backstage-plugin-headlamp-backend

2. Add backend plugin to packages/backend/src/index.ts

...
backend.add(import('@headlamp-k8s/backstage-plugin-headlamp-backend'));

3. Configure Headlamp Backend (Optional)

If you want to use a custom headlamp binary or custom plugins you can set the headlampBackend.binaryPath and headlampBackend.pluginsPath parameters in the app-config.yaml file.

example:

headlampBackend:
  binaryPath: /path/to/headlamp/binary
  pluginsPath: /path/to/headlamp/plugins
