no endpoints available for service \"kubernetes-dashboard\"

Question

I'm trying to follow GitHub - kubernetes/dashboard: General-purpose web UI for Kubernetes clusters.

deploy/access:

# export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
# kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
secret/kubernetes-dashboard-certs created
serviceaccount/kubernetes-dashboard created
role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard-minimal created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kubernetes-dashboard-minimal created
deployment.apps/kubernetes-dashboard created
service/kubernetes-dashboard created
# kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001

curl:

# curl http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
{
  "kind": "Status",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {

  },
  "status": "Failure",
  "message": "no endpoints available for service \"kubernetes-dashboard\"",
  "reason": "ServiceUnavailable",
  "code": 503
}# 

Please advise.

Answer 1

It would appear that you are attempting to deploy Kubernetes leveraging kubeadm but have skipped the step of Installing a pod network add-on (CNI). Notice the warning:

The network must be deployed before any applications. Also, CoreDNS will not start up before a network is installed. kubeadm only supports Container Network Interface (CNI) based networks (and does not support kubenet).

Once you do this, the CoreDNS pods should come up healthy. This can be verified with: kubectl -n kube-system -l=k8s-app=kube-dns get pods

Then the kubernetes-dashboard pod should come up healthy as well.

Answer 2

you could refer to https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard#getting-started

Also, I see "https" in your link Please try this link instead http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
