Steps to enable Web UI for Kubernetes

Apply Yaml File Url

kubectl apply {dashboard_yaml_url}

Go to the site https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/ and get the URL to apply :

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
namespace/kubernetes-dashboard created
serviceaccount/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/kubernetes-dashboard created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-certs created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-csrf created
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-key-holder created
configmap/kubernetes-dashboard-settings created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard created
deployment.apps/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/dashboard-metrics-scraper created
deployment.apps/dashboard-metrics-scraper created

Get token to Login locally

kubectl describe secret -n kube-system

Above command will return a whole lot of tokens. Get the service-account-token from it.

Create Proxy

Now enter the proxy command to start the dashboard

kubectl proxy

Get the url and add token to it

You can get the complete dashboard URL from docker site

http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/.

Open the URL and enter the service-account-token you got earlier with describe command and Sign In

And you’re logged in:
