Microk8s dashboard and remote access

General Discussions microk8s

I followed the microk8s tutorial, installed via snap, started add-ons, and everything seems to be up and operational; however, I cannot figure out how to access the dashboard remotely. All of the nodes in the cluster are headless so I cannot access localhost with a browser. Any help is appreciated…

hostname$ microk8s status
microk8s is running
addons:
dashboard: enabled
dns: enabled
registry: enabled
storage: enabled
helm: disabled
helm3: disabled
ingress: disabled
metallb: disabled
metrics-server: disabled
rbac: disabled

hostname$ microk8s kubectl port-forward -n kube-system service/kubernetes-dashboard 10443:443
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:10443 -> 8443

hostname$ curl --insecure https://127.0.01:10443

Hi @dishmael, could you try adding the --address argument to indicate what addresses the dashboard will be reached from:

microk8s kubectl port-forward -n kube-system service/kubernetes-dashboard 10443:443 --address 0.0.0.0

I could have sworn I tried adding --address but I must not have done something right. I tried again this morning and it worked. Now I just need to figure out how to get around the insecure SSL issue.
