This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and configuring Kubernetes Dashboard. The first step is to use the kubectl apply command to deploy the recommended configuration from the Kubernetes Dashboard GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yamlThis command will deploy the recommended configuration for the Kubernetes Dashboard, including the necessary services, deployments, and roles. Once the command has been executed, you can move on to the next step in the process.
Kubernetes Dashboard can be installed and configured using the kubectl proxy command. This command will create a proxy server that will allow you to access the Kubernetes Dashboard from your local machine. To do this, first you need to apply the recommended.yaml file using the kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml command. After that, you can create a service account for the dashboard using the kubectl create serviceaccount dashboard command. Finally, you can start the proxy server using the kubectl proxy command. This will start a proxy server on your local machine that will allow you to access the Kubernetes Dashboard. To access the dashboard, you can use the URL http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/.
In this step, we will create a service account for the Kubernetes Dashboard. This will allow us to access the dashboard with the credentials of the service account. To create the service account, we will use the kubectl command. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
kubectl create serviceaccount dashboardThis will create a service account with the name dashboard. To verify that the service account has been created, you can use the kubectl get serviceaccounts command. This will list all the service accounts in the cluster. You should see the dashboard service account in the list.
Now that the service account has been created, we can move on to the next step of configuring the Kubernetes Dashboard. For more information on creating service accounts in Kubernetes, please refer to the official Kubernetes documentation.
