Homebrew Tap for Kunobi

This tap provides two packages:

• Kunobi — a Kubernetes dashboard and management tool (desktop app, installed as a cask).
• kache — a content-addressed, zero-copy build cache for Rust, C/C++ and more (CLI, installed as a formula). Jump to kache (CLI).
• kobe — a cluster pool operator CLI for instant CI/dev cluster provisioning (CLI, installed as a formula). Jump to kobe (CLI).

Kunobi (desktop app)

Two channels are available:

Cask	Channel	When to use
kunobi	stable	Production releases — most users
kunobi-unstable	unstable	Pre-releases (RC, beta, alpha) — testers and early adopters

Both casks install the same Kunobi.app bundle (ninja.kunobi.desktop); they are mutually exclusive — pick one.

brew tap kunobi-ninja/kunobi

# Stable
brew install --cask kunobi

# Unstable (pre-releases)
brew install --cask kunobi-unstable

To switch channels, uninstall one and install the other:

brew uninstall --cask kunobi && brew install --cask kunobi-unstable

Requirements

• macOS on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
• Intel Macs are not supported (no x86_64 build available)

Auto-Updates

Kunobi has a built-in auto-updater that checks for new versions every. You don't need to run brew upgrade — the app will notify you when updates are available.

Homebrew Upgrade Behavior

This cask has auto_updates true, which tells Homebrew "this app updates itself, don't include it in bulk upgrades."

Without explicitly naming the cask:

brew outdated --cask          # won't list kunobi
brew upgrade --cask           # won't upgrade kunobi (skips auto-updating apps)

When you explicitly name it:

brew upgrade kunobi           # upgrades anyway (you asked for it specifically)
brew upgrade --cask kunobi    # same behavior

To see all outdated casks including auto-updating ones:

brew outdated --cask --greedy

Uninstallation

brew uninstall --cask kunobi

To also remove application data:

brew uninstall --cask --zap kunobi

To remoce tap:

brew untap kunobi-ninja/kunobi

kache (CLI)

kache is a content-addressed, zero-copy build cache for Rust, C/C++ and more.

Two channels are available:

Formula	Channel	When to use
kache	stable	Production releases — most users

The two formulae have different names, so both can be installed side by side.
