Exposing the build in kubernetes-dashboard and allow RBAC Access using Token

Posted on January 19, 2021

Is it possible to allow access to the built in kubernetes dashboard which is available from the Digital Ocean UI?

Or do I have to deploy another kubernetes dashboard for that ?

If so, how should I expose it with Ingress publicly ?
(created SA with specific permissions and allow users to view it without access to the Digital ocean account.)

Heya,

Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.

Yes, you can definitely utilize the built-in Kubernetes Dashboard that is available in DigitalOcean UI. However, if you prefer to deploy another dashboard, you can do that as well. When it comes to exposing your Kubernetes Dashboard using Ingress, it involves creating a Service and an Ingress Controller.

Please note that it’s crucial to take proper precautions while exposing your dashboard publicly because it could open potential security vulnerabilities. Always ensure to set appropriate permissions and consider using authentication methods to protect your dashboard.

Hope that this helps!
