Gnome desktop integration for Kubernetic #125

Open manning-ncsa opened 4 years ago

manning-ncsa commented 4 years ago

I did not find a Kubernetic download that integrates with the Gnome desktop environment in a Debian-based Linux system, so I wrote the following instructions that may be helpful to others. Since I could not find an icon image easily, I created one quickly with a screenshot.

Gnome desktop integration for Kubernetic

  1. Download Kubernetic and extract the file to $HOME/kubernetic.

  2. Download this image and save as $HOME/kubernetic/kubernetic_icon.png. kubernetic_icon.png

  3. Create a Gnome desktop file

    cat << EOF > ~/.local/share/applications/kubernetic.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Kubernetic
Comment=A Kubernetes desktop client
Exec="$HOME/kubernetic/kubernetic"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=$HOME/kubernetic/kubernetic_icon.png
EOF

  4. Update the changes with sudo update-desktop-database (you may need to reboot to see the icons).

The Kubernetic application should appear in the Gnome desktop Activities overview (a.k.a. dash).

I'd like to request (as a paying customer, for what it's worth) that this post be turned into an install script. It would take about 10 minutes, and it would significantly improve the experience for those of us running linux on the desktop. Of course, it would be better still to offer either an APT package or a Snap, but even the install script would make it much better.
