- Clone IRSOLS K8s-Dashboard repo to deploy it with automation:
git clone https://github.com/irsols-devops/kubernetes-dashboard.git - Read through the YAML files and apply to your cluster to install & configure dashboard properly:
kubectl apply -f ./kubernetes-dashboard/ - Get the URL (IP:Port) and token to login to dashboard using get-dash.sh
Enjoy your shiny new cluster dashboard !
Download the official/recommended K8s dashboard yaml file and modify it. Modified version
is included in this repo. If you'd rather do modification yourself , perform following :
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.1.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
change the clusterIp to Nodeport as changed in the "kubernetes-dashboard-deployment.yml" file
-
Create the deployment : kubectl apply -f kubernetes-dashboard-deployment.yml
-
Create service account admin role : kubectl apply -f service-account-admin.yml
-
Perform cluster role binding : kubectl apply -f rbac-clusterRoleBinding-admin.yml
-
Ensure K8s deployment and service are up and running : a. kubectl get deployments -n kubernetes-dashboard b. If this is a multi-node cluster then figure out which node the dashboard pods are running on : kubectl get pods --namespace=kubernetes-dashboard -o wide c. Double check that there are no issues in the services and its not in CrashLoopBack state:
-
Get the NodePort Dashboard is exposed on using following : kubectl get services --namespace=kubernetes-dashboard -o wide
-
Get service token and store in a local file using : kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard describe secret $(kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}')
-
Open up a browser that allows self-signed certificate using webpages ( e.g. Firefox ) and use the node IP:Nodeport combination to access the dashboard . e.g. https://:<node_port> will be https://10.10.0.4:32005
-
In the login window use the token from previous step
