Congratulations! You have just installed Kubernetes Dashboard in your cluster.

To access Dashboard run:
  kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard port-forward svc/kubernetes-dashboard-kong-proxy 8443:443

NOTE: In case port-forward command does not work, make sure that kong service name is correct.
      Check the services in Kubernetes Dashboard namespace using:
        kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard get svc

Dashboard will be available at:
  https://localhost:8443
Applying manifest
secret/microk8s-dashboard-token created

If RBAC is not enabled access the dashboard using the token retrieved with:

microk8s kubectl describe secret -n kube-system microk8s-dashboard-token

Use this token in the https login UI of the kubernetes-dashboard service.

In an RBAC enabled setup (microk8s enable RBAC) you need to create a user with restricted
permissions as shown in:
https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/access-control/creating-sample-user.md
