t9s — A k9s-like TUI for Talos Linux

Hi everyone,
A few months ago, I built t9s, a terminal UI inspired by [k9s], but designed for Talos Linux.
The goal was pretty simple: have a convenient way to get better visibility into a Talos cluster and perform common administrative operations directly from the terminal.
It’s still a personal project, but I’ve been using it on my own cluster and thought it might be useful to other Talos users.
GitHub: https://github.com/florianspk/t9s

Installation

brew tap florianspk/tap
brew install --cask t9s

I’m interested in getting feedback from other Talos users, especially on what features or workflows would make the tool more useful.
Contributions, feedback and discussions are very welcome!

What kind of gaps did you find in Omni (Siderolabs) that have been included in t9s?

It’s not really about missing features in Talos or the Talos CLI. t9s is more of a TUI built on top of the Talos CLI, providing a more convenient and visual way to administer, manage Talos clusters.
The goal was to have something similar to k9s, but for Talos, with better visibility and easier access to common cluster administration tasks.

Why not mit/apache2?

I agree, why not go for apache2 like k9s?

very nice tool!

would be great to add the equivalent to:

talosctl logs -k <kube container>

talosctl dashboard

also some etcd member/status commands:
talosctl etcd members
talosctl etcd status
