Having trouble to deploy kubernetes-dashboard version 7.x.x

I ran into the same problem yesterday. Apparently Kubernetes Dashboard versions from 7.0.0 and above use Kong, a cloud-native API gateway that manages distributed applications. The new implementation of the Dashboard consists of a few microservices and Kong proxies the incoming requests to these services. That means you should expose the port of the kubernetes-dashboard-kong-proxy Service, which by default is 8443, like so:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kubernetes-dashboard-kong-nodeport
  namespace: kubernetes-dashboard
spec:
  ports:
  - name: kong-proxy-tls
    nodePort: 32001 # Your desired port
    port: 443
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8443
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/component: app
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: kubernetes-dashboard
    app.kubernetes.io/name: kong
  type: NodePort
