Toolset for Cloud Container Engine (CCE)

Kubernetes-Dashboard (./dashboard)

The ./dashboard folder contains all recommended files to run Kubernetes dashboard on Cloud Container Engine. The following advices guide your through all necessary steps to get started quickly.

Prerequisits

• CCE cluster created with at least one cluster node
• EIP configured to at least one node or LoadBalancer setup
• kubectl installed

Getting started

• Create Kubernetes Dashboard

kubectl create -f kubernetes-dashboard.yaml

• Create (Administrator) user account and add the cluster role binding for accessing Kubernetes dashboard.

kubectl create -f admin-user.yaml
kubectl create -f admin-user-role.yaml

• Expose the dashboard (e.g. NodePort) and make it available from outside. Change the type: ClusterIP to type: NodePort

kubectl edit  svc  kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system
...
spec:
  clusterIP: <ClusterIP>
  ports:
  - port: 443
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8443
  selector:
    k8s-app: kubernetes-dashboard
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: NodePort
...

• Obtain the correct NodePort from

kubectl get svc  kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system

NAME                   TYPE       CLUSTER-IP	EXTERNAL-IP		PORT(S)				AGE
kubernetes-dashboard   NodePort   <Cluster-IP>	<none>			443:<NodePort>/TCP	37m

• Accessing the kubernetes-dashboard is now available from https://<CCE-node-EIP>:<NodePort>.
• For generating a login-Token for admin user account via kubectl, use the following commands:

token=$(kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep admin-user | awk '{print $1}') | awk '$1=="token:"{print $2}')
echo $token
