Crossview is an open-source React + Go dashboard for managing Crossplane resources in Kubernetes, now at version 4.4.0.
Key Takeaways
Backend uses Go/Gin with Kubernetes Informers for event-driven, real-time resource watching via WebSocket; frontend is React + Chakra UI with dark mode.
Multi-cluster support lets users switch between Kubernetes contexts; resources covered include providers, XRDs, compositions, and claims.
PostgreSQL is required for persistence; deployment options include Helm, Docker, Docker Compose, and raw Kubernetes manifests.
SSO via OIDC and SAML is supported, with a Keycloak integration guide available.
Config priority: env vars override config.yaml, which overrides defaults – important for Docker and Helm deployments.
