Kubernetes Dashboard is a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself.
IMPORTANT: Since version 1.7 Dashboard uses more secure setup. It means, that by default it has minimal set of privileges and can only be accessed over HTTPS. It is recommended to read Access Control guide before performing any further steps.
To deploy Dashboard, execute following command:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yamlTo access Dashboard from your local workstation you must create a secure channel to your Kubernetes cluster. Run the following command:
$ kubectl proxyNow access Dashboard at:
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/.
NOTE:
- The shortcut
http://localhost:8001/uiis not working with the latest version of Dashboard - Heapster has to be running in the cluster for the metrics and graphs to be available. Read more about it in Integrations guide.
