A local app to easily learn Kubernetes
A transparent discovery signal based on current public GitHub metadata.
This score does not audit code, security, maintainers, documentation quality, or suitability. Verify the repository and its current documentation before adoption.
An interactive Kubernetes course — zero to advanced — built with Next.js. Each lesson combines theory, prediction prompts, a scripted terminal walkthrough, a live cluster diagram, troubleshooting practice, active-recall quizzes, and spaced review.
~120 hours of content · 7 phases · no account needed
The course route is the learning method. Topics are ordered to reduce unnecessary cognitive load while gradually increasing real Kubernetes complexity:
Every module follows the same evidence-backed loop:
Every topic must also satisfy the course coverage contract:
kubectl, plus tool-specific CLIs when needed.kubectl, Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD, Istio, metrics-server, Prometheus/Grafana, etc. when relevant.The app automatically audits each module against this contract and shows a verified or gap badge on the course overview. A module with a gap is not considered complete content.
The learning methods are intentionally conservative:
If a claim is not known or verified, do not present it as fact. Kubernetes version-specific statements should be checked against the official Kubernetes release and documentation pages before being shown as current.

Each phase file (content/phaseN.ts) exports a Phase object. To add a module, append to the modules array following the Module type in lib/types.ts:
{
id: 'pN-mX',
slug: 'my-topic',
title: 'My Topic',
description: '...',
duration: '30 min',
difficulty: 'intermediate',
learningObjectives: ['...'],
keyConcepts: ['...'],
practicePrompts: ['...'],
masteryChecks: ['...'],
theory: `## Markdown theory content`,
labSteps: [ /* LabStep[] */ ],
quiz: [ /* QuizQuestion[] */ ],
}
The learning metadata is optional. If it is missing, the app generates conservative defaults from the module title and lab steps so existing topics remain available.

Small .NET + TypeScript app containerized with Docker and deployed to a local Kubernetes cluster (minikube) — a hands-on proof of core Docker and K8s concepts (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, readiness probes).
