Cannot connect to kubectl proxy

This is what I normally do and what works:

1. SCP the kubeconfig from the minukube (the remote host) to your localhost. The scp command is printed at the end of the Terraform execution.
2. Do export KUBECONFIG=<pathToWhereYouCopiedTheKubeconfigFile>
3. Do kubectl proxy on your local computer, not in the AWS machine

For this I never needed to do anything with certificates etc. These should be all in the kubeconfig file.

Hello,

firstly I am very happy with your prompt and fast response. When I copied kubeconfig to my local machine I was able to see login screen to dashboard on

• http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#!/login

Unfortunately I was not able to login with kubeconfig. I had to create an user following documentation here

• https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/wiki/Creating-sample-user

After this I was able to login to Dashboard with Token 🥇

It would be perfect if you would be update documentation also for others because it is very difficult for a person who is beginning with Kubernetes to start when a lot of things is not working out of the box even in demo installation.

TBH, the login screen in the dashboard should normally not appear. If it does, I think there is some button to either continue or skip it (I do not have it installed right now to check it). Since the AWS Minikube is more or less intended for development work, the Dashboard is deployed with the rights it needs and should not require login. I will have a look why the login screen appears sometimes. Thanks.
