4) Check port on which Dashboard was exposed

ubuntu@k8s-s1-master:~$ kubectl -n kube-system get service kubernetes-dashboard NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE kubernetes-dashboard NodePort 10.108.52.94 <none> 80:30830/TCP 2h ubuntu@k8s-s1-master:~$ |
...
#here it is 30830 |
5) Navigate to UI via a browser
Use the master node ip address and the exposed port :http://<master-node-ip-address>:<exposed-port>
6) Fix access privilage issue
The browser does not ask for credentials to login. The default user is "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:kubernetes-dashboard" , which does not have access to the default namespace.
TODO:
1) Manually add credentials (username/password = admin/admin) to ~/.kube/config on the master node.

Find a way (??) to get UI ask for credentials.
