Kalkan CI/CD pipeline in his community project, they might be different in your system, but you can digest the basics of it. The steps I provided here are derived from M. otherwise, you can compile OpenLens directly from Lens open source repository. Your organization policy might not allow you to run self-compiled binaries, so you might receive a similar error as I have shown above. However, given the complicity of building binaries yourself and code signing, I vote for the community project mentioned above. Depending on which OS you are running, the tools you need to install to compile OpenLens are different. OpenLens is developed via Electron and nodeJS, where it is cross-platform. Hopefully, this Patreon will reach its goal soon and we will have signed binaries. Apple Developer Program costs $99 per year and Windows code signing comes with various prices depending on which issuer you choose, which at the current stage, is not present in this community repository.Ĭrowdfunding for this project is started to sponsor costs of issuing certificates. So these binaries are not signed as signing codes need paid certificates. However many larger organization laptops come with limits and safeguards to not run unsigned binaries, without any option to bypass. As they can just run OpenLens and bypass Windows/macOS warnings about unsigned applications if they trust the application. This is not an issue for users who are in smaller organizations or those who run OpenLens on their personal computers. Kalkan’s repository will throw a similar error if your Windows/macOS machine is restricted, most probably because it is not signed with a paid certificate. Kalkan's repository for this screenshot) but M. (I did not download windows binaries provided in M. Please note that this file was safe, as I have personally compiled it from Open Lens open source repository. There is no way around it if your windows are controlled by an organization and they have set a limit on what can be run. I could run OpenLens on my personal M1 computer, without the need for a code certificate: Linux versions do not need binaries to be signed, however, Windows and macOS throw warnings for binaries that do not have a signature. This is the only catch I faced with this OpenLens fork at moment, which I hope going to be solved soon as more and more people contribute to the Patreon of this repository.
and I personally have contributed to his Patreon, to cover costs of code signing. In fact, I hope community effort to make OpenLens mainstream focus on his repository. Well, I do not know Kalkan personally, so I cannot vouch for him nor I can guarantee everything remains safe there, but looking into pipelines and Github actions, it all looks good to me and I hope his repository takes momentum and gain popularity. In this case, the repository is using runners provided by Github and installing necessary tools. It clones the open source version of Lens (OpenLens) from the OpenLens repository and uses Github actions to run make build in 3 different operating systems.Īs mentioned earlier, the Lens team prepared the make build command to compile and give binary files based on running OS, it just needs the correct compiling tools to be present in a system where compile and build are taking place. and to unlock the full potential (such as visibility into custom resource definitions), there is a paid upgrade named k9s𝞪 However, k9s comes with limited features. There are other alternatives for moving away from Lens, one of them being a CLI-based tool named k9s. It is more like Chrome by Google which is derived from Chromium. It is derived from the original and open-source OpenLens where additional cloud ID and other proprietary modules such as cloud login are added to it and distributed as “ Lens”. The Lens IDE that we usually download and install is not really open source and it is a proprietary application. In other words, Lens stopped being open to everyone. However, in recent months, the company behind Lens has started to push Lens users to create a Lens ID and it is going to have a new pricing model for enterprises. It gathered the complex Kubernetes infrastructure in an easy-to-understand and manage interface.īeing an open source with MIT license helped Lens to gain popularity even faster. Surely Lens IDE has gained popularity among Kubernetes administrators and application developers over time. This article discusses crowdfunding regarding code signature for the community, and it shows how to compile OpenLens ourselves for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
However currently there is no signed binary available for OpenLens.
Tl dr OpenLens is same as Lens IDE without proprietary components and its free of charge based on MIT license.
