How-to guides ¶

How-to guides can be thought of as directions that guide the reader through the steps to achieve a specific end. They’ll help you achieve an end result but may require you to understand and adapt the steps to fit your specific requirements. Here you’ll find short answers to “How do I…?” types of questions.

How-to-guides	Get stuff done
Access Control	Establish how users will authenticate with the Kubernetes clusters on which Kubeapps operates.
Custom App View Support	Inject custom app views for specific deployments.

Multi-cluster Support	Configure Kubeapps to target other clusters when deploying a package, in addition to the cluster on which Kubeapps is itself deployed.

Alternatively, our Tutorials section contains step-by-step tutorials to help outline what Kubeapps is capable of while helping you achieve specific aims, such as installing Kubeapps or using an OIDC provider.

Take a look at our Reference section when you need to know design decisions, what functions the API supports, detailed developer guides, etc.

Finally, for a better understanding of Kubeapps architecture, our Background section enables you to expand your knowledge.
