flux-graph is a simple tool that generates a static SVG graph representing the resources managed by Flux Kustomizations and HelmReleases in your Kubernetes cluster managed by Flux GitOps.

Understanding the relationships between Kubernetes resources managed by Flux can be challenging.
flux-graph provides a visual representation of the dependencies between these resources, helping you to:

• Easily see the structure and dependencies.
• Quickly understand resource relationships.
• Improve overall visibility into your cluster's deployment heirarchy.

flux-graph works by:

• Accepts the YAML output of flux tree ks flux-system -o yaml either from STDIN or from a YAML file.
• Processes YAML data obtained to create a graph of the relationships between the Flux Kustomizations and child resources.
• Generates a .svg file representing the graph structure of the various Flux and Kubernetes resources.
• NEW! Serves the SVG file in a local web server using an SVG Image Viewer with zooming and panning capabilities for easier viewing.

• A Kubernetes cluster managed by Flux GitOps.
• kubectl configured to access your cluster.
• flux
• go (only if building from source).

Run the following command to easily install the binary:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rishinair11/flux-graph/main/install.sh | sudo bash

To specify a version to install, set FLUX_GRAPH_VERSION to your preffered version:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rishinair11/flux-graph/main/install.sh | FLUX_GRAPH_VERSION=0.4.0 sudo bash

git clone https://github.com/rishinair11/flux-graph.git
cd flux-graph

make

$ flux-graph -h                                                                                                                  
Processes a Flux Kustomization tree and generates a graph

Usage:
  flux-graph [flags]

Flags:
  -d, --direction string   Specify direction of graph (https://graphviz.gitlab.io/docs/attrs/rankdir) (default "TB")
  -f, --file string        Specify input file
  -h, --help               help for flux-graph
  -n, --no-serve           Don't serve the graph on a web server
  -o, --output string      Specify output file (default "graph.svg")
  -p, --port string        Specify web server port (default "9000")

Either pipe the Flux tree output directly to flux-graph:

flux tree ks flux-system -o yaml | flux-graph

Or, specify a YAML file to read from:

flux tree ks flux-system -o yaml > tree.yaml
flux-graph -f tree.yaml

Then visit "https://localhost:9000" to view your Flux resources in a SVG graph format.
