# Kubernetes Dashboard

The kubernetes dashboard is optional but very helpful for debugging. If you want to install it, you have to do so only **once** per cluster:

```bash
# in folder deployment/digital-ocean/
$ kubectl apply -f dashboard/
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/aio/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
```

## Login to your dashboard

Proxy the remote kubernetes dashboard to localhost:

```bash
$ kubectl proxy
```

Visit:

<http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/>

You should see a login screen.

To get your token for the dashboard you can run this command:

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

It should print something like:

```
Name:         admin-user-token-6gl6l
Namespace:    kube-system
Labels:       <none>
Annotations:  kubernetes.io/service-account.name=admin-user
              kubernetes.io/service-account.uid=b16afba9-dfec-11e7-bbb9-901b0e532516

Type:  kubernetes.io/service-account-token

Grab the token from above and paste it into the [login screen](http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/)

![Dashboard](/files/-LdJ6F5xK_TlsPddkjuv)

Feel free to save the login token from above in your password manager. Unlike the `kubeconfig` file, this token does not expire.
