Getting started
Install DevOpsPad on macOS, add your first database or cluster connection, learn the workspace layout and keyboard shortcuts, and keep the app updated.
What is DevOpsPad?
DevOpsPad is a desktop app for read-only database and Kubernetes access plus reviewed K3s releases. What it does, what it does not do, and who it is for.
Install DevOpsPad on macOS
Download the signed and notarized DevOpsPad DMG for Apple silicon Macs, move the app to Applications and open it. Includes the optional devopspadctl CLI.
Add your first connection
Create a DevOpsPad connection - pick an engine, enter the host and credentials or a kubeconfig, run Test connection, save it and start browsing.
A tour of the DevOpsPad workspace
Learn the DevOpsPad layout - the navigation rail, the 中间件 and Infra workspaces, the Explorer tree, query tabs, editor, results grid and the AI assistant panel.
DevOpsPad keyboard shortcuts
The keyboard shortcuts DevOpsPad supports today - run a query, jump to a connection and create a new connection - and where each one works.
Update DevOpsPad to a new version
How DevOpsPad checks GitHub for new releases, what the update prompt offers, and how to install a new version without losing connections or project settings.
Build DevOpsPad from source
Build and run DevOpsPad from source with Go, Node.js and Wails v2 on macOS, Windows or Linux, including the browser-only UI preview and the test suite.
