K8S

Deploying Kubernetes Dashboard.

1. The Dashboard UI is not deployed by default. To deploy it, run the following command:

Copy

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v1.10.1/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml

NodePort

This way of accessing Dashboard is only recommended for development environments in a single node setup.

Edit kubernetes-dashboard service.

$ kubectl -n kube-system edit service kubernetes-dashboard

You should see yaml representation of the service. Change type: ClusterIP to type: NodePort and save file. If it's already changed go to next step.

# Please edit the object below. Lines beginning with a '#' will be ignored,
# and an empty file will abort the edit. If an error occurs while saving this file will be
# reopened with the relevant failures.

Verify that the K8S dashboard is exposed on NodePort.

~]# kubectl get service -n kube-system kubernetes-dashboard
NAME                   TYPE       CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)         AGE

You can access the K8S dashboard from your browser at

https://<node-ip>:<nodePort>

1. Create User

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: admin-user
  namespace: kube-system

2. Bind user to CreateRole

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: admin-user
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: admin-user
  namespace: kube-system

3. Create a Bearer Token

kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}')
