devservers 0.0.1

A Kubernetes operator for dev servers.

DevServer Operator

A Kubernetes-native operator for managing development servers, particularly designed for PyTorch and ML development workloads. This project provides both a Kubernetes operator and a CLI tool for creating, managing, and accessing development environments.

📍 Current Status: This project is under active development.

🚀 Features

• Kubernetes-Native: Built using the Kopf framework for Python.
• Resource Templates: DevServerFlavor CRDs define t-shirt sized resource configurations.
• User Management: DevServerUser CRDs for managing user access and SSH keys.
• Lifecycle Management: Automatic shutdown and expiration.
• CLI Tool: devctl for easy interaction with DevServers.
• SSH Agent Forwarding: Seamlessly forward your SSH agent to the DevServer.
• YAML Configuration: Configure devctl using ~/.config/devctl/config.yaml.
• Test-Driven Development: Comprehensive test suite using pytest and k3d.

📋 Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• Docker
• uv
• k3d
• kubectl
• A Kubernetes cluster (local k3d or remote)

🏃 Quick Start

1. Set Up Local Development Environment

# Create a local k3d cluster
k3d cluster create devserver-cluster

2. Deploy the CRDs and Flavors

# Apply the Custom Resource Definitions and Flavors
make install-crds

3. Run the Operator

# Start the operator in development mode
make run

4. Use the CLI

In a new terminal:

# Create a development server
uv run devctl create --name mydev --flavor cpu-small

# List your servers
uv run devctl list

# Add a user
uv run devctl user add --name test-user --public-key-file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

# Create a server with GPU support (see dev/eks/README.md for setup)
uv run devctl create --name my-gpu-dev --flavor gpu-small --image fedora:latest

# Delete a server
uv run devctl delete mydev
