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: Frontend side of the project is currently undergoing migration from AngularJS to the current version of Angular. If you are willing to contribute or you would like to check out early version of the application check this pull request.
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/.
To find out how to create sample user and log in follow Creating sample user guide.
