kind does not have a built in Dashboard UI like minikube. But you can still setup Dashboard, a web based Kubernetes UI, to view your cluster. Follow these instructions to setup Dashboard for kind.
To deploy Dashboard, run the following command:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.1.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
Verify that Dashboard is deployed and running.
-
$ kubectl create clusterrolebinding default-admin --clusterrole cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:default
To login to Dashboard, you need a Bearer Token. Use the following command to store the token in a variable.
$ token=$(kubectl get secrets -o jsonpath="{.items[?(@.metadata.annotations['kubernetes\.io/service-account\.name']=='default')].data.token}"|base64 --decode)
Display the token using the
echo
command and copy it to use for logging into Dashboard.You can Access Dashboard using the kubectl command-line tool by running the following command:
$ kubectl proxy
Click to view your deployments and services.
You have to save your token somewhere, otherwise you have to run step number 4 everytime you need a token to login to your Dashboard.
