privilegedescalation-ceo[bot] 2e2713fd3f docs: replace hardcoded namespace with <your-namespace> placeholder
Users choose their own namespace for Headlamp. Replace all hardcoded
kube-system references that indicate Headlamp's install namespace with
<your-namespace> so users substitute their own value.

Upstream workload references left untouched:
- tns-csi controller pods in kube-system (upstream CSI driver)
- NetworkPolicy selectors targeting kube-system
- API server proxy paths to kube-system pods

# Quick Start
Get the TNS-CSI plugin running in Headlamp in about 5 minutes.
## Prerequisites
- Headlamp v0.20+ running in your cluster
- tns-csi driver installed in `kube-system`
- `kubectl` access to your cluster
## Step 1: Install the Plugin
### Via Headlamp UI (Easiest)
1. Open Headlamp and navigate to **Settings → Plugins → Catalog**
2. Search for **"TNS CSI"** or **"TrueNAS"**
3. Click **Install**
4. Refresh the browser
### Via Helm
Add the plugin source to your Headlamp Helm values:
```yaml
config:
pluginsDir: /headlamp/plugins
pluginsManager:
sources:
- name: tns-csi
url: https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
```
Then upgrade your Headlamp release:
```bash
helm upgrade headlamp headlamp/headlamp -f values.yaml -n <your-namespace>
```
## Step 2: Configure RBAC
The plugin needs read access to storage resources and the tns-csi controller pod's metrics endpoint.
Apply the minimal RBAC:
```bash
kubectl apply -f - <<'EOF'
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
name: headlamp-tns-csi-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["persistentvolumes", "persistentvolumeclaims", "pods"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
- apiGroups: ["storage.k8s.io"]
resources: ["storageclasses", "csidrivers"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
- apiGroups: ["snapshot.storage.k8s.io"]
resources: ["volumesnapshots", "volumesnapshotclasses"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods/log", "pods/proxy"]
verbs: ["get"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: headlamp-tns-csi
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: headlamp
namespace: <your-namespace>
roleRef:
kind: ClusterRole
name: headlamp-tns-csi-reader
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
EOF
```
Adjust `name: headlamp` and `namespace: <your-namespace>` to match your Headlamp service account.
## Step 3: Verify
1. Open Headlamp — you should see **TrueNAS (tns-csi)** in the left sidebar
2. Click **Overview** — you should see the driver health card and storage summary
3. Click **Storage Classes** — your tns-csi StorageClasses should appear with Protocol, Pool, and Server filled in
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
| ------- | --- |
| No sidebar entry | Hard-refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R) |
| Driver shows "Not installed" | Run `kubectl get csidriver tns.csi.io` |
| StorageClasses empty | Check `kubectl get sc` for `tns.csi.io` provisioner |
| Protocol/Pool/Server show "—" | Check `kubectl get sc <name> -o yaml` for `.parameters` |
| Metrics page empty | Verify controller pod exposes port 8080 |
