I use this command to install and enable Kubernetes dashboard on a remote host:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.6.1/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml
kubectl proxy --address='192.168.1.132' --port=8001 --accept-hosts='^*$'
http://192.168.1.132:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/login
But I get:
Insecure access detected. Sign in will not be available. Access Dashboard securely over HTTPS or using localhost. Read more here .
Is it possible to enable SSL connection on the Kubernetes host so that I can access it without this warning message and enable login?
From the service definition
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
labels:
k8s-app: kubernetes-dashboard
name: kubernetes-dashboard
namespace: kubernetes-dashboard
spec:
ports:
- port: 443
targetPort: 8443
selector:
k8s-app: kubernetes-dashboard
Which exposes port 443 (aka https). So it's already preconfigured. First, use https instead of http in your URL.
Then, instead of doing a kubectl proxy, why not simply
kubectl port-forward -n kubernetes-dashboard services/kubernetes-dashboard 8001:443
Access endpoint via https://127.0.0.1:8001/#/login
Now it's going to give the typical "certificate not signed" since the certificate are self signed (arg --auto-generate-certificates in deployment definition). Just skip it with your browser. See an article like https://vmwire.com/2022/02/07/running-kubernetes-dashboard-with-signed-certificates/ if you need to configure a signed certificate.
