Introduction
Kubernetes Dashboard is a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself.
As of version 7.0.0, we have dropped support for Manifest-based installation. Only Helm-based installation is supported now. Due to multi-container setup and hard dependency on Kong gateway API proxy it would not be feasible to easily support Manifest-based installation.
Additionally, we have changed the versioning scheme and dropped appVersion from Helm chart. It is because, with a multi-container setup, every module is now versioned separately. Helm chart version can be considered an app version now.
Installation
Kubernetes Dashboard supports only Helm-based installation currently as it is faster and gives us better control over all dependencies required by Dashboard to run. We now use a single-container, DBless Kong installation as a gateway that connects all our containers and exposes the UI. Users can then use any ingress controller or proxy in front of kong gateway. To find out more about ways to customize your installation check out helm chart values.
In order to install Kubernetes Dashboard simply run:
# Add kubernetes-dashboard repository
helm repo add kubernetes-dashboard https://kubernetes.github.io/dashboard/
# Deploy a Helm Release named "kubernetes-dashboard" using the kubernetes-dashboard chart
helm upgrade --install kubernetes-dashboard kubernetes-dashboard/kubernetes-dashboard --create-namespace --namespace kubernetes-dashboard
