Do you like DevSpace CLI? Support the project with a star ⭐️
- Based on your existing Dockerfile(s) or images from any Docker registry
- Based on your existing Kubernetes manifest(s)
- Based on your existing Helm chart(s)
- Deploy to Kubernetes based on your deployment configuration by running a single command:
devspace deploy- Automatic image building (using Docker for local image building or kaniko for in-cluster image building)
- Automatic image tagging, pushing (to any public or private registry) and pull secret generation
- Automatic deployment of one or multiple Kubernetes manifests and/or Helm charts
- Automatic ingress configuration
- Debug deployments using
devspace analyze,devspace logsanddevspace enter - Develop applications directly inside Kubernetes using
devspace dev - Create private and isolated namespaces with a single command:
devspace create space my-space
Containerize any project in minutes
devspace containerize
DevSpace CLI detects your programming language and creates a Dockerfile for your project.
devspace init
DevSpace CLI creates a configuration for deploying and developing with Kubernetes based on:
- your Dockerfile(s)
- your Helm chart(s)
- your Kubernetes manifest(s)
Deploy containerized applications with ease
devspace deploy
- Builds, tags and pushes one or even multiple Docker images
- Creates pull secrets for your image registries
- Deploys your project with the newest images (e.g. using Helm)
DevSpace CLI will use the current kubectl context. If you do not have a Kubernetes cluster, you can use DevSpace Hosting to get a fully managed Kubernetes namespace.
Develop cloud-native software faster than ever
devspace dev
With DevSpace, you can build and test your application directly inside Kubernetes. Thanks to our real-time code sync, you can even use hot reloading tools (e.g. nodemon) to refresh your running application without having to waste time on re-building and re-deploying your application every time you change your code. With DevSpace, your containers are updated in real-time without any delay. It works in any container with and without volumes.
DevSpace CLI provides the following development features:
- Real-time code synchronization for hot reloading
- Automatic port forwarding for access via localhost
- Terminal proxy for running commands in your containers
Debug deployments without hassle
devspace analyze
DevSpace CLI automatically analyzes your deployments, identifies potential issues and helps you resolve them:
- Identify reasons for image pull failure
- View log snapshots of crashed containers
- Debug networking issues (e.g. misconfigured services)

Install Docker
DevSpace CLI allows you to build images directly inside Kubernetes pods (using kaniko) but if you have Docker installed, DevSpace CLI can also build images locally using Docker. If you do not have Docker installed yet, you can download the latest stable releases here:
- Mac: Docker Community Edition
- Windows Pro: Docker Community Edition
- Windows 10 Home: Docker Toolbox (legacy)
Run this command in your project root directory to create a deployment and development configuration for Kubernetes:
devspace init
Don't have a project to test DevSpace with? Check out our example project.
git clone https://github.com/devspace-cloud/quickstart-nodejs
If you are using the free managed clusters provided by DevSpace Cloud or you connected your own Kubernetes cluster to DevSpace Cloud, you can now create an isolated Kubernetes namespace using the following command:
devspace create space my-app
Deploy your application to kubernetes:
devspace deploy
- Developing applications with DevSpace
- Debugging deployments with DevSpace
- Add predefined components such as databases
- Add custom components
Help us make DevSpace CLI the best tool for developing, deploying and debugging Kubernetes apps.

Do I need a Kubernetes cluster to use DevSpace?
No. You can simply use the fully managed Spaces provided by DevSpace Cloud.
Can I use DevSpace CLI with my existing Kubernetes clusters?
Yes. You have two options:
- Connect your existing Kubernetes clusters to DevSpace Cloud as external clusters (available soon). DevSpace Cloud will then be able to automatically manage cluster users and permissions. This lets you created isolated namespaces (Spaces) within your Kubernetes clusters.
- You just use DevSpace CLI without DevSpace Cloud. That means that you manually need to:
- enforce resource limits
- configure secure user permissions
- isolate namespaces of different users
- connect domains and configure ingresses
- install and manage basic cluster services (e.g. ingress controller, cert-manager for TLS, monitoring and log aggregation tools)
Do I need to be a Kubernetes expert to use DevSpace CLI?
No. Altough DevSpace provides a lot of advanced tooling for Kubernetes experts, it is optimized for developer experience which makes it especially easy to use for Kubernetes beginners.
What is a Space?
Spaces are isolated Kubernetes namespaces which provide the following features:
- Automatic provisioning via
devspace create space [SPACE_NAME] - Automatic allocation of a subdomain for each Space, e.g.
my-app.devspace.host - Automatic RBAC configuration for better isolation of users
- Automatic resource limit configuration and enforcement
- Dynamic resource auto-scaling within the configured limits
What is DevSpace CLI?
DevSpace CLI is an open-source command-line tool that provides everything you need to develop, deploy and debug applications with Docker and Kubernetes.
You can either use DevSpace CLI as standalone solution for your self-managed Kubernetes namespaces or in combination with DevSpace Cloud.
What is DevSpace Cloud?
DevSpace Cloud is a developer platform for Kubernetes that lets you create and manage Spaces via DevSpace CLI or GUI.
The Spaces you create with DevSpace Cloud either run on a Kubernetes cluster within DevSpace Cloud or on your own Kubernetes clusters after connecting them to the platform.
What is a Helm chart?
Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. Packages in Helm are called Helm charts.
You can use the DevSpace CLI for any private or commercial projects because it is licensed under the Apache 2.0 open source license.
