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.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/kubernetes-dashboard

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Kubernetes Dashboard deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install stable/kubernetes-dashboard --name my-release

The command deploys kubernetes-dashboard on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the kubernetes-dashboard chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
`image`	Image	`gcr.io/google_containers/kubernetes-dashboard-amd64`
`imageTag`	Image tag	`v1.6.1`
`imagePullPolicy`	Image pull policy	`IfNotPresent`
`nodeSelector`	node labels for pod assignment	`{}`
`httpPort`	Dashboard port	80
`resources`	Pod resource requests & limits	`limits: {cpu: 100m, memory: 50Mi}, requests: {cpu: 100m, memory: 50Mi}`
`ingress.annotations`	Specify ingress class	`kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx`
`ingress.enabled`	Enable ingress controller resource	`false`
`ingress.hosts`	Dashboard Hostnames	`nil`
`ingress.tls`	Ingress TLS configuration	`[]`
`rbac.create`	Create & use RBAC resources	`false`
`rbac.serviceAccountName`	ServiceAccount kubernetes-dashboard will use (ignored if rbac.create=true)	`default`

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install stable/kubernetes-dashboard --name my-release \
  --set=httpPort=8080,resources.limits.cpu=200m

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install stable/kubernetes-dashboard --name my-release -f values.yaml

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml
