Elchi Documentation

From a client connection to live Envoy config

Everything you need to install, configure, and operate the Elchi proxy management platform — from quick local trials to production-grade Kubernetes deployments.

Elchi is a comprehensive proxy management platform that provides a UI-driven workflow for managing clients at enterprise scale. It bundles three coordinated processes — Registry, Controller, and Control-Plane — alongside a modern React UI, MongoDB for state, and VictoriaMetrics for time-series.

  • Quick Start — Get Elchi running on a Kubernetes cluster in under five minutes with Helm.
  • Install the Platform — Full Helm install — controller, control-plane, registry, MongoDB & VictoriaMetrics.
  • Set up the Client — Install the Go agent on Linux hosts to register Envoy proxies with your control plane.
  • Endpoint Discovery — Auto-discover Kubernetes services and sync endpoints to your Envoy clusters.
