I’ve not been able to figure out how to get access to the k8s dashboard with the DO-hosted k8s.
Commands:
helm install stable/kubernetes-dashboard --name k8s-dashboard
kubectl describe service kubernetes-dashboard
Name: kubernetes-dashboard
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Annotations: kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration:
{"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{},"labels":{"k8s-app":"kubernetes-dashboard"},"name":"kubernetes-dashboard"...
Selector: k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Type: ClusterIP
IP: 10.245.134.109
Port: <unset> 443/TCP
TargetPort: 8443/TCP
Endpoints: <none>
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>
kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
But when I hit the URL with as an http or https URL I just get the API and no UI.

CORRECTION:
seems you’re installing via helm so it should have created the necessary sa.
just try navigating here after kubectl proxy
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/overview?namespace=default
================ You need to give it cluster-admin access I think
kubectl create sa kubernetes-dashboard --namespace=kube-system
kubectl create clusterrolebinding kubernetes-dashboard --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:kubernetes-dashboard
should be able to access after that and doing your steps in this url:
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/overview?namespace=default
