This 1-click allows you to easily install the Kubernetes Dashboard Helm chart on your DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster.
The Kubernetes Dashboard offers a user-friendly, web-based interface for managing and monitoring your Kubernetes cluster. It allows you to:
Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to install a Kubernetes 1-Click Application. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.
In addition to creating Kubernetes Dashboard using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 3 node DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster made up of Basic Droplets in the SFO2 region, you can use the following doctl
command. You need to authenticate with doctl
with your API access token) and replace the $CLUSTER_NAME
variable with the chosen name for your cluster in the command below.
doctl kubernetes clusters create --size s-4vcpu-8gb $CLUSTER_NAME --1-clicks kubernetes-dashboard
Once the 1-click deployment is complete, you can access the dashboard from your local machine by port-forwarding as follows.
kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard port-forward svc/kubernetes-dashboard-kong-proxy 8443:443
https://127.0.0.1:8443/
, and log in using the token you generated for your service account. You may encounter a certificate warning, so make sure to override it.Please Note:
