There's information how to enable the dashboard extension

microk8s.enable dashboard

(which I ran) and how to display URLs of other extensions enabled like this:

kubectl cluster-info

How to get the URL of the dashboard of a microk8s installation running locally on Ubuntu 18.10?

It works in Firefox without issues. For Google Chrome I had to enable the flag allow-insecure-localhost to allow local websites without correct security. This is done by opening chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost and enabling the flag as shown:

You can get the IP with

kubectl -n kube-system get service/kubernetes-dashboard -o go-template={{.spec.clusterIP}}

which shows the IP address which you need to access with https:// prefixed in your browser because there's no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

You can run

kubectl describe service/kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system

and then you can go to the Endpoints specified . So in my case

Name: kubernetes-dashboard
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Annotations: Selector: k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
Type: ClusterIP
IP: 10.152.183.28
Port: <unset> 443/TCP
TargetPort: 8443/TCP
Endpoints: 10.1.43.61:8443
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>

But Chromium didn't let me enter the site (not even under "advanced")

Thus I had to use Firefox where you will need to authenticate.

You can authenticate with a token. To get the token run (dcoumentation):

token=$(microk8s kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep default-token | cut -d " " -f1)
microk8s kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $token

Now you can copy and paste the token and you should be able to access the dashboard.
