Hi everyone,

While learning Kubernetes, I developed my own K8s dashboard – AliangBoard. I've been using it in my daily deployments, and it feels pretty smooth to me, so I'd love to get some feedback and suggestions from you.

A quick note on permissions: The RBAC is relatively simple right now, so it's not ideal for companies with complex organizational structures. However, for independent developers and small teams, the experience is quite nice.

Here are some highlights of what it can do:

Advanced terminal – It provides a great terminal pop-up for executing commands inside Pods. You can minimize it, and even if you refresh the page, the session state is preserved – no more losing your command history. Debug online would be more easy!
File management – Supports browsing, editing, uploading, and downloading files for any Pod, right from the UI.
Topology view – Visualizes the relationships between Ingress, Service, and Deployment resources, making it easier to understand your application's networking. that make it more easy to adjust the traffic structure of our deployment
SSH management – You can store your server SSH credentials directly in the dashboard, allowing you to manage your VMs alongside your K8s clusters at one place.
AI integration – Built-in AI can interact with both your K8s cluster and your SSH servers, helping you automate deployments both inside and outside the cluster. Even when it comes to complex operations and maintenance tasks, there is nothing to worry.

I welcome everyone to try it out, and please feel free to open issues on GitHub with your suggestions or bug reports!
