Kubernetes Dashboard

!!! warning The Kubernetes Dashboard takes unusual approaches to security and is often a point of security escalations. We recommend you do don't deploy it and get familiar with kubectl, if possible.

The Kubernetes Dashboard provides a web UI to manage a Kubernetes cluster for those who prefer an alternative to kubectl.

Create

Create the dashboard deployment and service.

kubectl apply -f addons/dashboard -R

Access

Use kubectl to authenticate to the apiserver and create a local port forward to the remote port on the dashboard pod.

kubectl get pods -n kube-system
kubectl port-forward POD [LOCAL_PORT:]REMOTE_PORT
kubectl port-forward kubernetes-dashboard-id 9090 -n kube-system

!!! tip If you'd like to expose the Dashboard via Ingress and add authentication, use a suitable OAuth2 proxy sidecar and pick your favorite OAuth2 provider.
