A simple way to add the Kubernetes dashboard, which can be helpful to folks new to Kubernetes. Docker for Mac (edge) doesn’t ship with it in place. In your terminal type the following. I am assuming you have Kubernetes running and kubectl installed and on your path.

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system

At this point you should see a line with a name that starts with “kubernetes-dashboard-” and some identifier. Modify the line below to match:

kubectl port-forward kubernetes-dashboard-7798c48646-wkgk4 8443:8443 -- namespace=kube-system &

Then your browser should load the dashboard on the port you specified (it will yell at you about the untrusted cert).

Just for clarity, the kubernetes-dashboard.yaml looks like the below as I write this, copied from the link above.
