Kubernetes - Docker Desktop: Kubernetes Web UI (Dashboard)

Kubernetes | Docker Desktop: Kubernetes Web UI (Dashboard)

Please visit this page for more details about Kubernetes Web UI (Dashboard):
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/

Deploying the Dashboard UI:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.2.0/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
Check the Dashboard Service:
$ kubectl get services -n kubernetes-dashboard -o wide NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE SELECTOR kubernetes-dashboard ClusterIP 10.101.99.76 <none> 443/TCP 7d9h k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard

Accessing the Dashboard UI:
$ kubectl proxy Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
To access the Web UI (Dashboard), open your favorite browser and copy paste the URL:
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
Skip the login page of the Kubernetes dashboard:

You need to edit the kubernetes-dashboard deployment and add the --enable-skip-login to the container argument:
$ kubectl edit deployment kubernetes-dashboard -n kubernetes-dashboard containers: - args: - --auto-generate-certificates - --namespace=kubernetes-dashboard - --enable-skip-login
Note:
You can also use the "kubectl patch" command to add the --enable-skip-login to the container argument:
$ kubectl patch deployment kubernetes-dashboard -n kubernetes-dashboard --type 'json' -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/args/-", "value": "--enable-skip-login"}]' deployment.apps/kubernetes-dashboard patched
Restart the proxy and you should see a Skip button when you access the Kubernetes Dashboard:

Click on the Skip button and you should be redirected to the Kubernetes Dashboard:
Accessing the Dashboard UI remotely:

Forward the port 8001 from Windows into your Linux WSL distro.
The portproxy server listens for messages sent to a specific port and IPv4 address and maps a port and IPv4 address to send the messages received after establishing a separate TCP connection.

listenaddress: Specifies the IPv4 address for which to listen ("0.0.0.0" any IPv4 address).
listenport: Specifies the IPv4 port on which to listen ("8001", you can choose any port you want).
connectaddress: Specifies the IPv4 address to which to connect ("172.26.110.211", this should be the address of your Linux WSL distro).
connectport: Specifies the IPv4 port to which to connect ("8001", must match the port your set for your sshd on your Linux WSL distro).

C:\Users\mtitek>netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 listenport=8001 connectaddress=172.26.110.211 connectport=8001
To check the Port:
C:\Users\mtitek>netsh interface portproxy show v4tov4 Listen on ipv4: Connect to ipv4: Address Port Address Port ------- ---- ------- ---- 0.0.0.0 8001 172.26.110.211 8001
Start kubectl proxy command:
$ kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' --disable-filter=true W0605 20:17:15.140628 9600 proxy.go:167] Request filter disabled, your proxy is vulnerable to XSRF attacks, please be cautious Starting to serve on [::]:8001

Notes:
To delete Kubernetes Dashboard:
