I’m using kubernetes dashboard.  
I use only http to communicate.  
Authentication is skipped.

However, the nohup watch kubectl proxy process is failing.  
What should I do?

Proxy process crash occurs a short time after the command is executed.

```auto
■ process
nohup watch kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' --accept-hosts='^*$' -n kubernetes-dashboard &

2023/05/18 03:36:42 Error while initializing connection to Kubernetes apiserver. This most likely means that the cluster is misconfigured (e.g., it has invalid apiserver certificates or service account's configuration) or the --apiserver-host param points to a server that does not exist. Reason: Get "http://{ipv4 address}:{port number}/version": dial tcp {ipv4 address}:{port number}: connect: connection refused
