How to access micro8ks's dashboard web UI?

  • 772

There's information how to enable the dashboard extension

microk8s.enable dashboard

(which I ran) and how to display URLs of other extensions enabled like this:

kubectl cluster-info

How to get the URL of the dashboard of a microk8s installation running locally on Ubuntu 18.10?

url kubernetes microk8s

  1. I just use

    microk8s dashboard-proxy

    which results in

    Checking if Dashboard is running.
Dashboard will be available at https://127.0.0.1:10443
Use the following token to login:

    It works in Firefox without issues. For Google Chrome I had to enable the flag allow-insecure-localhost to allow local websites without correct security. This is done by opening chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost and enabling the flag as shown:

    chrome : Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost

  2. Best Answer

    You can get the IP with

    kubectl -n kube-system get service/kubernetes-dashboard -o go-template={{.spec.clusterIP}}

    which shows the IP address which you need to access with https:// prefixed in your browser because there's no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

  3. You can run

    kubectl describe service/kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system

    and then you can go to the Endpoints specified https://<ip>:<port>. So in my case https://10.1.43.61:8443

    Name:              kubernetes-dashboard
Namespace:         kube-system
Labels:            k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Annotations:       Selector:  k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Type:              ClusterIP
IP:                10.152.183.28
Port:              <unset>  443/TCP
TargetPort:        8443/TCP
Endpoints:         10.1.43.61:8443
Session Affinity:  None
Events:            <none>

    But Chromium didn't let me enter the site (not even under "advanced") chromium

    Thus I had to use Firefox where you will need to authenticate. firefox auth

    You can authenticate with a token. To get the token run (dcoumentation):

    token=$(microk8s kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep default-token | cut -d " " -f1)

microk8s kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $token

    Now you can copy and paste the token and you should be able to access the dashboard.
