Accessing Kubernetes Web UI Dashboard

Question

Kubernetes has installed and is running in one node instance.

However, I'm not able to access the Web UI at https://<kubernetes-master>/ui. Instead I can access it on https://<kubernetes-master>:6443/ui.

How could I fix this?

Answer 1

The URL you are using to access the dashboard is an endpoint on the API Server. By default, kubeadm deploys the API server on port 6443, and not on 443, which is what you would need to access the dashboard through https without specifying a port in the URL (i.e. https://<kubernetes-master>/ui)

To access Kubernetes dashboard, you need to add new deployment in your kubernetes cluster and create proxy connection to access the dashboard. Please check this article: https://blog.tekspace.io/kubernetes-dashboard/

Thanks Ray! I've added a new deployment for the dashboard. Now how do I create proxy connection to access it?
