Starboard Lens Extension

This is a Lens extension for Starboard which provides visibility into vulnerability assessment reports for Kubernetes workloads stored as custom security resources.

Installation

This guide shows how to install the extension either from source or from pre-built binary releases.

Prerequisites

• Lens >= 4.0.0-rc1.4 should first be installed.
• Follow Starboard Getting Started guide to understand how Starboard is initialized and how it generates security reports, which are then stored as custom resources.

From the Binary Releases

Every release of Lens extension for Starboard provides the tarball-file that can be manually downloaded and installed. Alternatively, you can copy the download URL of the release artifact to paste it in the Manage Lens Extensions page.

1. Download your desired version from GitHub release page or GitHub package registry. Alternatively, just copy the download URL of the release artifact.
2. Open Lens application and select Lens menu, and then click Extensions item, or press Shift + Command + E to open the Manage Lens Extensions page.
3. Specify the path (.tar, .tgz) or download URL to the extension package and click Install.
4. If everything is fine, you'll see the @aquasecurity/starboard-lens-extension extension listed under Installed Extensions. Click Enable to enable it.
5. Close the Manage Lens Extensions page and verify that the Starboard menu item shows up in the main menu.

From Source (Linux, macOS)

You must have a working Node.js environment.

1. Clone the source code to the ~/.k8slens/extensions/starboard-lens-extensions directory and build the extension's package:

   $ mkdir -p ~/.k8slens/extensions
   $ git clone https://github.com/aquasecurity/starboard-lens-extension.git ~/.k8slens/extensions/starboard-lens-extension
   $ cd ~/.k8slens/extensions/starboard-lens-extensions
   $ npm install && npm run build
   

2. Open Lens application and select Lens menu, and then click Extensions item, or press Shift + Command + E to open the Manage Lens Extensions page.
3. If everything goes fine, you'll see the @aquasecurity/starboard-lens-extension extension listed under Installed Extensions. Click Enable to enable it.
